Thanks for your suggestions Sue- petal. The skin is only flaky on my legs and The Dermol500 is helping. My concern is the skin coming off my feet in sheets is on the soft part of my feet so I don't think it's psoriasis. I've never had this problem before and being prediabetic, I'm a bit worried. I'll continue moisturizing as you say and see what happens.

Thanks for your reply. I have been using Dermol500 on my legs but have started using on my feet too. That's interesting information, not to use moisturizer on your feet. I know we have to keep our feet dry, but Doctor or nurse didn't say anything about this. I think I'll ring my chemist and see what they say. Thanks for replying.

Hi, I forgot to mention I don't know anything about these figures. What are these what do they mean?

Inspect your feet every day and use cream twice a day if you can to keep the skin hydrated.

Hi,

Please note that the terms, “pre-diabetic “ “ borderline diabetic”, “near-diabetic” etc etc can be confusing and demoralising.

Medics use them interchangeably which makes these terms even more difficult to understand.🤔😢.

Unhelpful?

Foxglove above asks a most important question, HbA1c level?

This is a good three month average as to how your body copes with BLOOD SUGAR (BG) control.

A spot fingerprick test which one can do for oneself with a BG monitor just gives you a single reading which will be variable according to whether you test pre-meal or post-meal.

According to WHO guidelines normal, non-diabetics give consistent readings between 4.5 to around 7.5 mmol/litre.

Your feet skin condition may turn out NOT to be related to diabetes?

It could be something else and not actually a diabetic foot condition but...?🤔 eg a rare skin condition that only a specialist dermatologist would know about?

Let’s all be positive and optimistic!
