Chapped lips and diabetes?

[Jelaca]

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

I do find that I get chapped lips when my blood sugars run a bit high. 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

Ahh yeah, that is a point, I hadn't even considered that, thanks
