I have a question why is it such a big deal if you have dry cracked skin on the heal or anywhere else on your feet and/or legs when you have diabetes? I am only asking because I have type 2 diabetes and the skin on the heal of my foot is dry and cracked and very painful and I read somewhere that people with diabetes should have it check by a doctor.

When you have diabetes you can get life-threatening infections into your entire circulatory system through very tiny cracks in the skin, especially through the feet and legs. The diabetes can also change your reaction and/or ability to feel pain. I would make a doctors appointment as soon as possible, for your own health and safety. Good luck to you.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Because people with diabetes don't heal appropriatly and what may just be dry and cracked can turn into a major problem, such as gangrene. It is very important to get a good cream for your feet and wear cotton socks. Tell you doctor about this and ask his/her advice.

It is not uncommon for those with Diabetes to not heal properly. The cracked skin can get seriously infected and can lead to major problems.

Yep, your body is less able to heal when you have diabetes. Any break in the skin should be checked by a doctor. As well as numbness in the feet and any vision changes.
