I was diagnosed with diabetes almost 3 years ago, but haven't really noticed much difference in my skin. What exactly are the skin issues diabetics face, and is this the best solution?

Dry skin on the feet & lower legs ! Yes, Gold Bond Diabetic Skin Relief lotion is the best solution !

Over time it progresses. I did not for many years and now it is significantly worse. Just be proactive. It can't hurt

I really don't know what other diabetics skin problems are but mine gets very dry. This lotion really helps. I also get a yeast infection on my skin. Nothing helps that.

the one thing i have experience with being a diabetic. my elbows got very very dry, and my feet also got dry. then they would start buring, when i put this gold bond on my elbows. i wear socks to cover them at night. on my feet it takes the dryness out, and the buring sensation. i also cover them to. never never do i walk at night without any socks on, it;s always socks or slippers. hope this helps. dolores

some diabetics get dry itchy skin. My wife and I both are diabetics, she has itchy skin I do not. Th lotion helps her with the itchy skin more than any other lotion she has tried

As it progresses you would have dry to very dry skin moving forward, followed by itchiness and scales, gold bond would keep this smooth and hyradrated, thru the day.

One of the issues diabetics can face is called acanthosis nigricans. Typically, this is found around the neck and in other areas which are somewhat folded (armpits, back of the knee, etc.) This causes the skin to thicken and darken, and can feel itchy and rough at times. Because a diabetic's body is constantly trying to "flush" out excess glucose - dehydration and very dry skin are commonplace.

If you have Type 1 Diabetes, you have dry skin from the onset of it. The older you get the worse it gets because of poor circulation. Not sure about Type 2 Diabetics.

I am not in the medical field, so I can only say what sounds right to me. If not diabetic, but just trying to see how your body is handling sugar, I would suggest first thing in the morning and bed time. Other than that you might like to try 1 hr. after a meal to see how your body is handling it. I believe it should take 1 hr. to peak and 2 hr. for your glucose level to be back to normal. Again, I am not a nurse or Dr. so this just comes from personal experience.

Mr. Hill, I'm sorry to say I don't know the answers to your questions; I'm as new to this, or more so, than you are. I have just begun a vegan regimen because I watched the video "Forks Over Knives." I hope it will combat my CAD and diabetes!

Good question, and one that I would like to know the answer to as well. I doubt, however, that most customers would know about that topic. You may want to consult a dermatologist. Let us know what you find out.

I don't know what part of the country you are in, but if there is a Trader Joe's around, they also have a nice serum I sometimes use day or night - it's really silky and makes my skin really soft - called: Nourish - Antioxidant Facial Serum - for All Skin Types - The dispenser looks much the same as this vernal product. I massage it in really well. They also have it on Amazon: Trader Joe's Nourish Antioxidant Facial Serum

Hey there Ralph, sorry to hear your diagnoses. It can be a new normal and life changer that's for sure. The Percision Xtra kit should have had some starter lancets included these would be the "best" ones to use as they are the ones that the manufacturer suggests you use. There are probably some other brands that can fit into the lancet holder, but I'd suggest you stay with the type that came with your Blood sugar testing kit. Stay healthy. :-)

I'm not seeing any improvements in the scarring on my arms from eczema, but did notice it exfoliates the heck out of them! Fortunately I need that, but as a cream it's otherwise lacking if you want something to hydrate. I would recommend using this combined with something like cocoa butter or your lotion of choice. Personally I've gotten Triamcinolone Acetonide cream for the bad spots, but seriously there is little that helps eczema without constant attention.

I have the same problem with you--acne prone skin, so far it does not help, but it does not make it worse either...

To be perfectly honest, I don't see any difference in my skin whatsoever and I've been using the anti-aging serum, the day cream and the night cream for many months. I'm fair skinned but have some medium darker spots on my face.

it would not affect your diabetes. I am diabetic. the only problem you would have is if it cuts off circulation, which this does not. it actually improves circulation. I hope this helps.

I used this stuff for a year without miraculous results. Went to a preventitive health clinic for other issues. Had to drastically change my diet. My skin is almost flawless now. Unless I eat something I shouldn't. Sugar is the worst. Might not hurt to check into digestion type issues before you cover him in chemicals.

Hi! I recently bought a lightstim acne light (the one pictured) it looks lavender because it is actually a combination on blue and red lights (blue to kill acne bac and red I think is for inflammation) this is an older model, which is why the lights featured on the lightstim website are different. I have been quite happy with this purchase: my skin has definitely improved (I've been using it once or twice a day for the last 3 weeks) my skin really dried out during the first week but then improved afterwards, seems I needed to get acclimated. Hope this helps

It seems to. My husband told me he's noticed quite a difference in my skin. I had two spots on my face that are gone. I also had a pencil lead stain from a grade school pencil stab (a classmate got mad at me - long story) & it is gone. I figure if. Spouse notices a difference it must work.

I don't know..I do know something new though that is amazing! I went to a laser skin tightening place, where they do laser pigmentation removal..For around 250.00 they tighten the face, remove dark spots..dark spots including freckles..yay! permanently. I am so glad I had this done! This product is great for keeping that tightening uplifting skin..

I don't have that issue, so Im sorry, I can't answer that question. However, I would try it. I've learned that with skin issues, it's all trial and error. I love this product, it's the only thing that works for me in keeping my skin clear. I use it with the clarisonic electronic brush skin cleaner to unclog pores. I bet that would work for you!

I have seen amazing improvement in my skin using Skin Medica TNS. I think it's worth every penny. I've used lots of skin serums that claim to do wonders, but the Essential Serum is the only one that I feel made a real difference.

I want to say this doesn't have anything to do with the product. If anything it should clear your skin up. Try stopping for a few days and resuming after it all clears up. Could breakouts been due to poor eating over the holidays? Not saying that's what it is, just a thought! Good luck!
