Diabetes is caused by the body's inability to produce and/or use insulin to maintain blood glucose levels. The disease is known to affect almost every part of the body, including the skin.

For that reason and in recognition of National Diabetes month, we at Hale Cosmeceuticals believe it's important to know how your skin can be affected by the disease, and what it means for your health.

Dry skin can lead to irritating skin conditions for anyone; however, as a diabetic, skin conditions can be problematic if not taken care of on a daily basis.Consider working with a health care specialist, so he or she can help keep your blood glucose levels in check, assisting in the prevention of future diabetic problems, and unhealthy skin conditions.Remember, prevention starts with you.
