How To Care For Your Skin If You Have Diabetes

How should I care for my skin if I have diabetes?

People with diabetes when their sugars are high, often get dry skin and they may get even itchy skin which responds best, I think, to controlling the blood sugar levels. Otherwise, people with diabetes just deal with their skin the way that anybody would in terms of lotions and creams and trying to deal with the dryness externally. But, if you can control the blood sugars, I think that's the best way to treat it overall, and if you got a cut or sore, any kind of infection on your feet, that would mean you need to contact your doctor. That would not mean something you can treat yourself but rather to contact your health provider for and get some advice about what to do next.
