Being a modern man, I like to take care of my skin!!! I was browsing the aisles of Boots for some new product when I came across Aveeno moisturising lotion. The description on the packaging read ‘Even suitable for diabetic’s rough dry skin’ - See photo.

I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 35 years and I like to think my skin is still as soft as a baby’s bottom. My eyesight and touch are failing though!!! Is this packaging a little bit offensive or do diabetics have rough dry skin?

I still have smooth soft skin, this has been mentioned from my daughter and another person, so still silky soft after 30 years :rolleyes: Maybe an email to the company regarding us' rough dry skin diabetics o_O:rolleyes:

Marketing ploy. Everything is a marketing ploy.

My partner says I have rough dry skin from working hard all of my life, as for offensive it's a bit of a first world problem that.

I don’t think it’s offensive. If you were like me in DKA at the beginning of diagnosis and suffering extremely dry skin, products made suitable for that situation would have been nice. I think E45 didn’t cut it for me, my mum and the nurse had to slather something else because I was flaky and scaly.

I grew up with constantly putting lotion on so I haven't noticed any dry skin, but I'm very observant with it. But as for Aveeno products, I don't use them, but have friends who swear by the brand.

If alligators develop diabetes they would start out with dry and rough skin and no amount of creams would change that I'm afraid any way I for one would not try applying skin cream on an Alligator far too dangerous.

"We don’t know if alligators can get diabetes – that’s partly why we did the experiment. After 5 months of drinking water with 100 mg/L nitrate-nitrogen, the alligators in our study had lost about 13% of their beta cells and their blood glucose levels were elevated, though not above the normal range for gators. For comparison, by the time people are diagnosed with T1D, they’ve lost 70-80% of their beta cells. Our alligators had other signs of early stage type 1 diabetes as well. A longer study is needed to find out if nitrate can cause full blown diabetes in alligators"
