Breck replied to Hannah Dawe's discussion 'I hate needles.'"When I first got diabetes, I would sit and CRY for hours because taking the shots hurt soooo bad. It would get to the point I would not want to hassle with it, and I would just skip then as well. my blood sugar was always up in the 600's where…"
Brian (bsc) commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"Ok, on the tea tree oil. I hang round gyms. I have had a few cases of toenail fungus and my goto treatment is tea tree oil. If you get it on your skin, it is bad news. It will seriously irritate your skin and cause lesions. It does however safely…"
Breck commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"I will def try some of these.. Especially the baby oil.. VERY CHEAP compared to what I have been paying for. I just bought Clinique<(spell check) for EXTRA dry skin for almost 50.00 and it made my face even worse... Thanks for all the help!"
Teena commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"I use E-45 (cream and lotion)...on very rough spots, sometimes I use petroleum jelly. I also heard that super dry skin can be a symptom of thyroid problems..."
Pastelpainter commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"Trudy, tea tree oil is very harsh for dry skin, especially if you are an older person. You are better to find a urea cream, ask the pharmacist, tea tree just about rips the skin off my hands."
Trudy commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"Has anyone tried tea tree oil? My pharmacy sells it in the pure form (not cheap), and I've been considering whether or not to buy it.to try."
Brian (bsc) commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"I struggle with dry skin as well. Although I am a guy, I hate having dry hands. What drove me totally crazy was trying to find a hand lotion that did not contain glycerin and would not mess up my blood sugar tests. In the end, I found that baby oil…"
latvianchick commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"I have this problem - skin like paper AND I am allergic to all creams known to man! I am allergic to the bases of creams and lotions which all seem to be petroleum jelly or lanolin. I remember the doctor and I going through all the moisturising…"
rgelowi commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"Hi there, I have the same problem with super dry skin and when it gets bad, it's super itchy. I have tried almost all the drug store lotions and bath potions, this might sound odd but what I find works best for me is grinding plain oatmeal and…"
Robyn commented on Breck's blog post 'Supppper DRY Skin?'"Yes, my skin is dry. I use Baby oil when I get out of the shower. After drying. Thin coat. Then a thin coat of Baby Lotion (Pink Bottle). Seems to work great for me. I use the Baby Lotion on my face too."

Hey Everyone! I am a new-b at TuDiabetes. I found it by looking for some diabetic quotes. One of the quotes that I found, was from a womans Tudiabetes page..
