Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hi Does anyone know what kind of lotion you need for your feet. I haven't had any trouble so far but my Doctor said I need to watch out and to get some lotion for people with Diabetes. I did notice my feet got colder al a lot faster this winter. So when I went out to feed I but hand warmers in my boots and that worked OK. Thanks Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Have you been evaluated by a podiatrist? If not, you should be.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 > my Doctor said I need to... get some lotion for people with Diabetes. Hi Pat I don't think you need to get lotion specifically for diabetics. You just need something that keeps your feet well moisterized. You want the skin on your feet to be soft and supple, no dry skin or cracks. There are many good lotions on the market - we discussed this a few weeks ago so if you go back through the posts you should get plenty of good suggestions. I just bought something called " Nut Butter " made with Brazilian and Shea nut butter. Mmmm, very nice and the smell makes you want to eat it! lol I got it at target, it was inexpensive. When I want something nicer, I go to one of the body product stores in the mall and get a good foot moisterizer. Peace Jacki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jacki, Any lotions that have Shea Butter works wonders. It is a great product. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I am a medical transcriptionist and one of my clients is our local podiatrist. He routinely recommends Eucerin cream for anyone who has dry skin on their feet. A large percentage of his patient base is made up of diabetics and he suggests it to them, too. I use it myself and have very good results. A very low cost, low tech solution to dry foot skin is to rub a light coating of Crisco shortening on the feet before bedtime. Many of the doc's older patients use it with good success. I'll stick with the Eucerin cream myself, but the price is certainly right for the shortening.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 >I tried this cream, but found it to be very greasy amost like vaseline. >Did you not find it greasy? > >margo Hi, Margo, Eucerin cream IS heavy and rather greasy but it is certainly effective! I put it on some time before going to bed and it soaks in pretty well. Socks help, too, as someone else mentioned. Vaseline is excellent, too, as was also suggested. Since I type all day with my hands, plus hand quilt whenever I can squeeze in a minute, I try to keep them looking nice, too. Eucerin or Vaseline rubbed in well before bedtime works well. I put clean socks over my hands since I can't stand gloves either. Most mornings when I wake up, though, I've removed the socks in the night. <S> Either of these on the legs at night can help with dry skin on the shins--another problem I seem to get in the winter.
