People with diabetes must pay special attention to
their feet, especially if they have developed neuropathy and have lost sensation

Skin
Care
People with diabetes often have trouble
with dry skin, since the body loses fluid when blood glucose is high. Dry
skin often leads to cracking, which is a problem because germs can enter the
cracks and cause infection. Therefore it's important to keep your skin
moisturized and intact. While any dry skin lotion will be of benefit, there are
products specially formulated for people with diabetes.
