[QUOTE="Kash2001, post: 176992, member: 17852"] Hi Guys I have recently change insulins to Apodra & Lantus as I was not getting quick enough effects from Novarapid etc. Anyway since being on this new regime for about 2 weeks, I have starts noticing a change in my feet. Just to give a little background my feet have always been in perfect health, I have an excellent pulse good sensitivity and never had any issues with my feet I'm in my forties now and have very little capillary "marking" when the small capillaries go blueish at the surface of the skin. These changes have been very rapid, I am suffering from deep short splits in my heals and side of foot, noticed when I got out of bed and put my foot down a week ago a sharp pain caused by a fine but deep split, Looking at my feet under closer inspection I have very small splits about 4 in total around as mentioned heels and side of foot. The skin around this area especially around the heel is dry, rough and yellowish which I've never had before. I looked for a over the counter cream and found one for diabetic feet , the pic looks like an exaggerated version of my condition, it is helping but the splits are taking a while to heal. Also my hands have been much dryer and rougher almost leathery, I not a moisturizing man usually, as my skin is quite oily (cant think of a better description) I've never really had dry skin. Is it likely that the insulin change is having an effect on the skin as it seems more than a coincidence that this has occurred since the change in insulin. Any thoughts or similar experiences would be welcome. Should I go tot the clinic to speak to drs about it, as if it continues I will have to look into changing my insulins as this is not good.
