As a matter of fact feet, the insoles help you maintain arch of the foot but if you want to naturally deal with it please get yourself checked thourughly by a physiotherapist who can check with the other factors that might influence pain and flat feet. As a hypertensive and diabetic patient, you should be ideally following a recommended diet and exercises that can help you overall.
