Foot Calluses

Hello, this is the first time I have dead skin on the bottom of my left foot. I have been type 1 diabetic for 8 years my hb1ac is 7. How concerning should it be? I am going to see the doctor today.

Getting it looked at is a good idea. Dead skin does not sound too worrying but the Doc should be able to help if help is needed.
 
I had really very hard, dry skin on my feet. Ketogenic eating helped a lot, but even using a very good foot cream the dryness persisted. Since adopting a fully carnivorous diet the soles of my feet are softer than a baby’s derrière.

Jim, the OP is not asking about diet, they are worried about their feet. Please stay on topic.
 
It’s odd it’s just on one foot @elie1102 , I wonder if your shoes rub that one foot or you have an underlying problem like a verruca or something. Hopefully you will be referred to a podiatrist by your GP.
