- Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Having my feet checked last week at the doc's and the nurse was touching my feet with a needle to test that I could feel the touch at various sites around my feet and I discovered that the heel of my left foot was less responsive to this touch.
My bg control is pretty good and my blood pressure is not too high although I am taking a couple of meds for that. I do have hard dry skin around both heels. So could this be the start of diabetic neuropathy or just the hard skin on my heels?
I have been massaging Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Body Lotion into both feet but had been a bit lax in this routine in the month or so before my doc visit.
I would be interested to know what others who suffer dry skin use to care for their feet.
ps. who came up with "Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Body Lotion" as a name? Thats a proper mouthful :lol:
