Here is a real lame question. I’m new to the diabetic world and I was told I should take very good care of my feet. There are some areas that need a bit of looking at, on the heel for one. My question is; before I apply the flexitol, Can I wear my diabetic socks after I apply the cream or will that make the stuff rub off and not work?

Rub the cream into the skin, then put on the socks. The reason you have to pay good attention to your feet is because diabetics are notorious for getting bad infections in their feet, and get so bad where you have to have them amputated, I knew this old guy who had that happened, his name was wheel-chair sam, he's dead now because he was about 90.

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.

Foot care is extremely important in diabetes. Either check your feet daily yourself, or have someone do it for you. My mother had an open ulcer on the ball of one foot that stayed open for years. Mom did not do a good job at keeping her diabetes under control and she paid for it. She was legally blind from diabetic retinopathy, she had that ulcer on her foot. She would eat candy and ice cream all of the time and then wonder why she couldn't get her sugar under control.
I am trying to use her as a bad example to myself so that I will work diligently to keep my hypoglycemia from going over into diabetes.

I am sorry for your ailment. To keep the diabetes under control, drink juice extracted from one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach before breakfast daily and see the difference because you are new to the diabetic world and it would be very wise to keep the disorder under control in the beginning. Eat lots of cucumber and that will help you in many ways. Cut down totally on high calorie stuffs and shift to vegetarian food, salad, fruits and fruit juices. Avoid banana, mango and apply custard since they contain high amount of sugar. Rice is also bad if you are taking insulin. Avoid aerated cold drinks, alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee. Drink sufficient water. Reduce weight If obese and correct constipation. One hour brisk walking will keep your sugar level under control and it is a proven fact. Avoid injuries and cuts because the wound healing takes longer time in diabetes patients. Wear socks after applying medicine. Take care and be in good health.

Your doctor should be able to answer that for you. Have you tried calling your pharmacy and speaking with your pharmacist?
I know someone who has diabetes and he goes to a podiatrist once or twice a month just to make sure there are no problems.
If you suspect a problem with your feet, have it looked at ASAP.
The type of shoes you wear are important, too. You have to make sure they fit properly.

Hi
My mom had diabetes..and she use to see a podatrist..for her foot care..well most of it....when ever I apply foot cream, I always put socks on afterwards...for a few reasons...the lotion doesn't get on everything...and my feet will stay warm..and stay moisturized better....It might be in my head..but ....my feet seem to be softer after putting lotion on them...when wearing socks....
My mom use to put lotion on her feet before she went to bed..and would wear her supportive socks (diabetic socks) over the lotion...she would also soak her feet before she put on her lotion (when your feet are not so hard..the lotion absorbs better....so better when feet are moist...aka wearing socks..feet keep moist.warm/sweaty...lol
good luck!
