Foot Calluses

Hello, this is the first time I have dead skin on the bottom of my left foot. I have been type 1 diabetic for 8 years my hb1ac is 7. How concerning should it be? I am going to see the doctor today.

Getting it looked at is a good idea. Dead skin does not sound too worrying but the Doc should be able to help if help is needed.

I had really very hard, dry skin on my feet. Ketogenic eating helped a lot, but even using a very good foot cream the dryness persisted. Since adopting a fully carnivorous diet the soles of my feet are softer than a baby’s derrière.

Jim, the OP is not asking about diet, they are worried about their feet. Please stay on topic.

I’m simply sharing my experience of dry feet and dead skin. Elaborating on what fixed it. For me. It is entirely on topic.

I don’t see the relevance. OP is asking about dry feet. But never mind, delete my post if you wish.

It’s odd it’s just on one foot @elie1102 , I wonder if your shoes rub that one foot or you have an underlying problem like a verruca or something. Hopefully you will be referred to a podiatrist by your GP.

Hi @elie1102 - how did it go at the doctor’s?

It’s good to hear that you have the appointment sorted. Hope all goes well.
