You should not cut their skin. Avoid anything that will cause any damage to any skin surface , especially their feet. Diabetics tend to heal more slowlythan non-diabetics.\n\nGood luck!

Moisturizing/ treating them with a product called "Cuticle Eraser" from Creative Nail Design. Can be purchased at any respectable spa or salon.\n\nAlso go treat yourself to a proper manicure at a respectable spa, not one of those "chop shops".

Cut back on sugar and fats. Sugars become fat if you don't burn them off. Also, try to exercise more. If you are type 2, chances are you can control your sugar with diet, exercise and maybe some prescriptions. But you have to be careful because you don't want to become insulin dependent. Also, diabetes can lead to other serious health problems if not taken care of. But most people with Type 2 live normal lives.\nGood luck!

donot eat too much sweet infront of him (if male) \ndonot eat too much bulky food infront of him at one time\ndonot eat too much food rich in carbohydrates specially consisting of simple sugars\ndonot drink too much fruit in front of him\ndonot drink simple sugar (glucose, flavoured glucose)infront of him\ntry to be patient if he awakes two to three times in a night for peeing (it will not happen that often)but you have to be considerate.\nkeep some sweet along you always and give him some if he feels sweaty, lethargic , abnormally sleepy, anorexic or dizzy.\nkeeping glucometer along with ample gluco-strips is mandatory.\nmonthly serum fasting glucose level has to be done.(to see the efficasy of the drugs).\ntype 2 initially can be resolved just with diet and exercise, if not then drugs (which may be a single , or combinations of upto three drugs upto three times daily).\n\nthough sexually wont affect initially , therefore one has to play carefully especially with the mind (more psycologically)\n\nin the end of if he is  unable to control himself to type-II, then No doubt there will be need of Insulin injection lately, and living with that perosn is a little more tricker than living with type2 diabetes , though not difficult too.

Over time the fluctuation in blood sugar levels causes damage to various systems of the body.  In this case the peripheral nerves and blood vessels are affected.  The nerves to the feet and extremities often slowly die resulting in a diabetic nephropathy (death of nerves).  As such diabetics may knock or damage their legs and not realise.\n\nAlso diabetics tend to have other chronic diseases and may be on drugs to thin their blood such as warfarin.  As such they would bruise more easily and extensively.  In the UK diabetics are entitled to regular free chiropody checks to make sure their feet are ok.\n\nThere is not much that can be done really to my knowledge.  Aim for tighter glucose control but often the damage has already been done.  However the glucose control is still very important for all the rest of the body's systems.

you didn't say in what stage of diabetes you are, and how severe is your disease,and how much is it under control. but as a general rule , diabetes patients are taking longer time in healing of scars, and usually in a long term disease they have problem with the big and small vessels of their body ,specially skin tissue,which can lead to necrosis and death of that part of tissue.\n besides that in diabetes patients there is higher rates of infections(fungal,bacterial). specially if there will be a way of entry to body.that is why it is always advised to diabetic patients to avoid injury to their body (legs,feet specially) and to wash and keep clean their foot,and wear socks ,and covered shoes to decrease chances of injury.\n as a medical student i don't think it is a wise idea for you to go for tattoo , but if you really like it, consult your personal physician .

If your blood sugars have been high You need to increase the insulin but it is of the utmost importance you consult with a dr about that. Please pay no attention to what the previous person had ro say regarding remeding your diabetes.  Type 1 diabetes is a very dangerous disorder to screw around with & you must remain under a medical dr.'s care. Good luck.

I think the pedicure idea is great,but with an added touch.  I think you should try foot games by seductively sticking your feet at your gf.  When she begins to tickle them, I bet your mom jumps in.  If she doesn't, make sure she is drug in for the fun.  Why dont the 2 or you gang up on your gf also?  Just an idea

Who should not undergo mesotherapy?\nYou should not undergo mesotherapy if you have a history of any allergic reactions to any of the substances being injected. Your practitioner will discuss this in the first medical consultation. Patients who are pregnant, on blood thinners, are insulin-dependent diabetics, on medication for heart arrhythmias, have severe heart disease or have cancer may also not candidates for cosmetic mesotherapy. \nhttp://saylormedical.com/_wsn/page2.html

Diabetics must be carefull with infections. Ulcers NEEDS to be looked after by a doctor or a diabetes nurse, to prevent major infection. \n\nUlcers are usually caused by poor blood circulation. In the mean time, keep clean with warm water, and dress the ulcer with Occlusive dressings (total coverage) - ulcers heal better when they are covered; dressings should be changed weekly. And can be bought from your local pharmacist.\n\nTypical Treatment options used by doctors.\nTreatment for chronic venous leg ulceration includes:\n•Cleaning the wound using wet and dry dressings and ointments, or surgery to remove the dead tissue.\n•Specialised dressings - a whole range of products are available to assist with the various stages of wound healing. Dressings are changed less often these days, because frequent dressing changes remove healthy cells as well as debris.\n•Occlusive dressings - ulcers heal better when they are covered; dressings should be changed weekly.\n•Compression treatment - to boost internal pressure, using either elasticised bandages or stockings. This is particularly effective if multiple layers are used.\n•Medications - such as painkillers, and oral antibiotics if infection is present.\n•Supplements - there is evidence to suggest that leg ulcers may heal faster with mineral and vitamin supplements, but only if the person suffers from a deficiency. Zinc, iron and vitamin C may be used.\n•Skin grafts - a surgical procedure, where healthy skin is grafted onto the prepared wound site.\n•Hyperbaric oxygen - this is now an accepted management option for ulcers that resist other methods of healing for example, diabetic ulcers.

Since your life is shortened when you have diabetes, you should not aim for being a normal diabetic, you should aim to cure your disease, in other words, be normal in blood sugar.  Type 2 can be cured.  My dad did it with the Pritikin diet.  It is drastic, but the disease's consequences are severe.  Allowing it to continue is keeping drug companies and your doctor in pools of money.  Get angry and get cured.  If you're going to drop oranges because they're carbs, make sure you consume a variety of other fruits including tomatoes.  Until your blood sugar drops to normal levels, cut out those starches that are made without fiber like white rice, potatoes, white bread and batter-fried foods.  Who wants to be addicted to drugs for 40 years, and then die (or get crippled) early anyway?

From: http://www.foot.com/info/cond_diabetic_foot.jsp\n\nRub a thin coat of skin lotion or cream on the tops and bottoms of the feet. Do not put lotion between your toes, because this might cause infection.\n\nDiabetes does bad things to people.

Divorce the person. ha ha;\n\nSeriously, extreme attention to personal hygiene is the best alternative here. Removal of glands has other complications you probably wouldn't like.

I'm diabetic and I have 2 tattoos. If you have any problems with neuropathy or circulation in your feet, avoid tattoos there, otherwise it shouldn't be a problem. Follow the artists recommendation for cleaning the tat, you don't want it getting infected, and you'll do fine.

You need to get your doctor to refer you to a diabetes nurse educator or endocrinologist (a doctor that specializes in endocrin diseases, which includes diabetes). He/she can explain your disease to you, and talk about the lifestyle changes you will need to make in order to prevent the complications of uncontrolled diabetes, like heart disease, gangrene and kidney failure. \nI have also included links to the American Diabetes Association, they will also have lots of  information. When it comes to diabetes, you cannot be too educated.\nGo out and buy a small notebook so you can jot down important information, and monitor your blood sugar levels in this diary.\nYou will need a high -protein, low carbohydrate diet. That means, cut out all sweets, sodas and candies. Limit starches (like potato chips, fries, etc), juices and fruits.\nI am sorry that they just dumped this on you and didn't take the time to explain. They are obligated to get you educated, so insist on a referral to a diabetes center.
