  1. Recommendation For Diabetic Skin Care

  2. Check Your Skin Regularly If you are diabetic, your feet's skin is particularly susceptible to damage, so you should check them regularly. Maybe your family or friends can help? It is always a good idea to clean your skin before moisturizing. Make sure your socks and shoes are made of breathable materials to prevent moisture buildup.

  3. Avoid Irritant Triggers It is important to avoid foods that cause itchy skin, particularly citrus fruits (fresh fruit, fruit juices, and juice-based fizzy drinks), and not drink chlorinated water. Avoid using vinegar foot soaks or gels or powders on your feet

  4. Caring for Diabetic Skin The skin barrier of diabetics is often disrupted, resulting in reduced sweat production and the activity of sebaceous glands. The result is dry or scaly skin. When diabetes interferes with the skin's ability to detect wounds, infection is more likely to occur. Proper skin care is essential for people with diabetes, as it can help prevent and reduce the symptoms associated with the condition.

  5. Take Care When Cleaning Your Skin Limit showers to once a day and not more than five minutes, and make sure the water temperature is below 37°C. To moisturize your skin, opt for oil rather than bubble baths or bath salts.

  6. Use Mild Care Products For a gentle and nourishing shower, choose an oil or gel that contains Urea and won't dry out your skin, like Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS Washfluid 5% Urea. After you shower, apply a deeply moisturizing product, like Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 10% Urea, to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

  7. Keeping Active The NIDDK has found that muscle cells are more efficient at processing glucose than fat cells, making physical activity beneficial for regulating blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of diabetic skin issues. Even a short walk or doing some light gardening can make a difference in the long run.

  8. Wearing The Right Clothes To keep your skin healthy and free from irritation, choose fabrics that are lightweight and breathable, such as cotton. This helps prevent skin issues, while also shielding it from the Sun and cold winds. Additionally, wear shoes that are properly fitted and comfortable, as ill-fitting shoes can cause blisters, calluses, and ulcers. If you’re unsure which shoes to buy, reach out to your doctor or podiatrist for advice.

  9. Prepare Your Own Diabetic Skincare Kit! It's important to always stay prepared for unexpected skin-related emergencies, especially if you're a diabetic. Have a dedicated portable care kit on-hand that includes items such as antibacterial ointment, gauze pads, hypoallergenic or paper tape, cleansing wipes, moisturizer, and lip balm.
