Hi there,
When was the last time you had your feet checked with a Podiatrist for your diabetes screening?
I would advise you see your GP or your DSN for advice.

All the best Smile
Anele.

Hi there
I have had this problem for years. I now go to my podiatrist every 2 months to have the hard skin removed and use Flexitol cream on my heels every day. Cream available from Boots and works wonders!
Good Luck!

I use Doublebase cream for this. It is prescribed by my GP and is, without doubt, the best I have ever used.
