i have type 1 diabetes, and i have good control (hba1c is 6.5) but i get very very dry skin particularly on my hands. So dry they are always bleeding and cracked and hurt a lot all the time. does anyone else get this? could it be diabetes related? also does anyone have any tips? most moisturisers are too painful to use (i can only use one by avene that doesn't hurt). thanks.
