J Jelaca Well-Known Member Messages 225 Location UK Type of diabetes Type 1 Treatment type Insulin Mar 16, 2013 #1 I always seem to have chapped lips no matter what. I put lip balm on day and night and i have the same problem whatever time of year. So I was wondering, is diabetes related to chapped lips at all? If so, what can i do about it, and does anyone else on here get it? Thanks x

Maybe it's due to the dehydration effect of high blood glucose levels???? Maybe increase your fluid level slightly making sure it is carb and sugar free
