Hey all!
So I've noticed over the past year that my feet are super dry, rough, and cracked. They're itchy and scaly, and downright nasty. It's rather embarrassing, especially now that it is officially flip-flop weather. I asked my doctor about my abnormally dry feet and she said that its a common side-effect of diabetes.
As if diabetes wasn't bad enough, I have to have ugly toes now, too.
So I found this foot cream. And wow.
It's Gold Bond Ultimate "DIABETIC'S DRY SKIN RELIEF FOOT CREAM". It was like $12 at WalMart. The box said that "9 out of 10 diabetics noticed a difference in 1 hour". I scoffed and thought "yeah, right". I tried it, and folks I'm not even close to kidding when I say I noticed a difference a few minutes after putting this stuff on. I used a small amount over my affected areas last night before bed, and this morning before going to work and WOW. You can't see any cracks or dry spots anywhere. It's amazing.
I just thought I'd share in case anyone was on the lookout for foot care products.

Since my blood glucose has been under control, my feet are good again. Hopefully that will be true for you as well!0 -

I am going by there tomorrow! I have the same problem, Thank you! I HOPE IT WORKS FOR ME!! I am sick of wearing tennis shoes to cover up my ugly feet!0 -
FWIW, my dry skin goes up my leg to about mid-calf. It is essentially anything covered by socks. I am not one to be all that concerned with such things if it is not a health issue, but my doctor did tell me to put lotion on them in the morning and in the evening. It does seem to improve things.0
