NAILS Just because you have diabetes it doesn’t mean you can’t have nice nails. Shape your toe nails with a clipper or file, not too short or too long. A manicure or pedicure can help but make sure you tell the nail technician about your condition.

Once dried, moisturise your feet avoiding cream between your toes. Shoes and socks shouldn’t be too tight, loose or rub and get advice if you have dry or cracked skin. Your foot care specialist should check your feet at least once a year, they’ll also treat ingrowing toenails, corns and tough skin. TOP TIP It takes weeks or even months to see changes in your body from a better diet and exercise. Be patient. Symptoms A constant need for a wee, increased thirst or hunger, severe tiredness and slow healing wounds could be symptoms that indicate Type 2 diabetes so pay a visit to your doctor.
