As a diabetic you need to watch your feet very carefully..is the skin just peeling or is there redness or infection?..if you have any concerns you need to see a doctor to make sure you don't have an infection which can be further complicated by your diabetes.

See the doctor immediately. A diabetic can develop wounds that will not heal and can lose a foot from a small scratch. If your a diabetic and your foot is peeling, CALL THE DOCTOR!!! You should be checking your feet everyday with a mirror and keep your feet clean and dry. Do not use lotion, bacteria breeds in dark moist places. Once again call the doctor!

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

As there is not a lot of detail given as to the cause of the skin peeling, you should discuss this with your doctor or your diabetic educator nurse.
As a Diabetic, care of the feet is an essential component of self-care. Many people develop nerve damage in their feet and may not necessarily be aware of injuries, infections or other kinds of problems. It would be a wise move to engage the services of a Podiatrist (who is a Foot specialist), as well as your physician in learning how to best care for your feet and what to do if problems take place.

This is something that you should talk to your doctor or podiatrist about. Peeling skin for the wrong reason is actually a medical emergency.
As you have already heard, one area that needs a lot of attention in diabetics is the feet. If you have any questions, contact your diabetic nurse or doctor.

Check with your doctor--you have to be very careful about your feet when you are diabetic. I had an ulcerated foot like that, and it lasted for months. He may have some type of medication that can help.

Due to arterial abnormalities and diabetic neuropathy, as well as a tendency to delayed wound healing, infection or gangrene of the foot is relatively common.
Prevention is by frequent chiropody review, good foot hygiene, appropriate shoes and avoiding injury.
Foot ulcers in diabetes require multidisciplinary assessment, usually by diabetes specialists and surgeons. Treatment consists of appropriate bandages, antibiotics (against staphylococcus, streptococcus and anaerobe strains), debridement and arterial revascularisation.
Diabetic patients are more vulnerable to fungus infection. Please consult Dermatologist/Diabetic specialist. URGENT.
