I have a colostomy, about 1" opening, and for 8 years I had no problem with my pouches. Then for 3 or 4 months I can't seem to have a bag on for more than a day, and there is leakage. What is deep convexity and should I have different kind of pouches that have a deep convexity? Would that help? Thank you.

A new study has found that diabetic patients walk without wearing specialized footwear that is used to prevent foot sores too often.
According to research published in Diabetes Care, a new study of 107 diabetic patients found that 29 percent of steps taken by patients during a two-week period were done so without the use of their custom-made shoes. Researchers also found that patients wore their preventative shoes less often at home than when they are outside of their house (39 percent compared to 87 percent, respectively).
