I thar been T2 for 20 years but in the last 3 months I have developed psoriasis now my feet are very cracked and sore and I am worried about infection any advice please?

What is your blood sugar control like? Do you think it could be linked?

Lots of anecdotal reports about psoriasis going away when carbs are cut dramatically.

hstclare Hi i have not posted in a long time I have had Psoriasis for over45yrs (most gone now due to tablets i'm on ) but the best advice is keep them moisterized so they do not crack

I have type 1, but I've suffered from psoriasis and cracked feet in the past. For dry feet I use Flexitol (I buy it from Boots), which has been brilliant. When I had particularly bad scalp psoriasis I actually went to the GP for medicated shampoo. Sounds extreme, but I'd gone to the barber and they couldn't cut my hair because it was so bad! My blood sugar control was also much worse back then, which I think was a big part of why it happened.
