Skin Care Guidelines For Diabetics
Posted By: Gunjan Lal
Diabetes happens when your pancreas releases very little or no insulin, or when your body does not respond properly to insulin. It has no proper cure and is a chronic medical condition, which means that although it can be kept in check and controlled but it lasts a lifetime.
A person who suffers with diabetes also suffers several consequences which accompany this disease. For example, if you're a person with a sweet tooth then you can't have your favourite foods, you pee more often, feel more thirsty, if you get cut or injured it takes a longer time for you to heal. Similarly, with this health condition, your skin can dry out due to lack of proper hydration. Water (or fluids) essentially provide your body with moisture. Now, if you're diabetic your body would be using fluids to generate pee and therefore there'd be less moisture for other things. You can get dehydrated, and your skin may feel dry and itchy because of this reason. This also means that you could get injured more easily or be more likely to catch an infection, and what goes without saying is that it'll all take longer to heal. So, follow are a few tips to care for your skin all while dealing with diabetes.
