[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1888068"] Your comment about shaving foam intrigued me as it is something I have never heard of being a problem with diabetes. I had to google it "shaving foam diabetes". And ... I am still intrigued; I got no hits. Nothing about the foam and the only shaving and diabetes hit explained: [INDENT]Warnings about beauty treatments, including waxing, laser hair removal treatments and massage – or any treatment involving heat – are given as a general precaution to people with diabetes. The reason for this is partly related to the complication known as[URL='https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/teens/what-is-diabetes/complications/']neuropathy (nerve damage)[/URL], which can lead to a lack of feeling, usually in the feet and legs, although it can occur in other body parts too. As a result of this, a person may not be aware that something is burning them until the damage is done. These products carry a health warning so they are covered in case of legal claims against them, but there is also a need to warn people who may be vulnerable. Always ask your diabetes nurse or doctor if you are in any doubt.[/INDENT] So, nothing that will change my shaving habits. (Sorry for the tangential addition.) [/QUOTE]
