How Can Gilden Tree Help Diabetics Have Healthier Feet?

Many diabetics develop problems with their feet as a symptom of diabetes, but the good news is that Gilden Tree products can help keep diabetic feet healthier.

One of the most important things to do is to create good foot care habits - checking your feet every day, and using good quality products.

So, Which Gilden Tree Products Are Right for Someone with Diabetes?

The American Diabetes Association recommends that you wash your feet every day. Gilden Tree’s Extremely Gentle Cleansing Gel is a gentle cleanser that won’t dry skin out, but will help keep feet clean.

After washing, dry feet carefully, especially between toes.

Moisturize feet daily - especially right after a shower, using Gilden Tree’s Nourishing Foot Cream.

Avoid using any tools on your feet that might cause even a microscopic nick or cut. The Footscrubber should not be used to remove calluses unless your doctor okays it.

If feet are especially dry, try using 95% Shea Butter Balm over the foot cream on very dry spots.

With everything else you have to remember as a diabetic, having good foot care habits should be the last thing you need to worry about.

So make it easy on yourself, by keeping products where you’ll always see them, and pick a time each day to take care of your feet. At the same time, check your feet - and you’ll be better off all around.
