Hi everyone,
I am diabetic, since January, found out through pregnancy booking bloods-type still unknown til review next week.
I have very dry skin and I'm trying to use up my son's Aveeno baby dermexa emollient as it's unsuitable for his skin.
It just dawned on me that it's 'triple oat complex'... Does this affect blood sugars? Does this absorb into your blood stream?
Panicking!
Thank you in advance.

No problem, glucose is not absorbed through your skin!

Although residual food or creams can affect a finger prick test if it's still on your finger when testing.

You see the title of this forum should be Everything You Need to Know About Diabetes But Were Afraid To Ask. :)

NO question is ridiculous on this forum if you don't know the answer to it. x
