This study is testing whether supervised foot exercises can help people with diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet. Half of the participants will do 12 weeks of guided exercises with a physiotherapist, while the other half will receive standard foot care advice. Researchers want to see if the exercises improve foot function, symptoms, and overall quality of life.
