      My thoughts are everywhere, non stopping, but making no sense. Confused. Unbalanced, if I try to walk. Cold and sweaty. Jerky movements and involuntary movements sometimes.

      I did right before diagnosis. I don’t now.

      Dry hands especially now with sanitizing and washing of hands; and also for me, during cold winter months.

      When I was a young child with t1d, my hands were awful and dry and scaly. I had to moisturize ALL the time. Now that I am an adult and my bloods are easier to track, I still have dry skin overall but I use a humidifier and the Gold Bond diabetic hand cream and I’m all set! I also end my showers with body oil that I pat off. I don’t find a need for body cream beyond that, unless I choose to use it of course

      Mine are dry due to using sterile alcohol at work frequently and doing a lot of backpacking and mountaineering and removing my gloves more than I should.

      I always had oily skin and hair. Had to wash my hair every day. My hair isn’t as oily at 71 but the rest of my body is dry—especially in winter.

      I use hand creams a lot, but being a 72 year old with LADA type 1, there is a lot of dryness that occurs, not just hands!!!! I still enjoy a hot bath in a jetted tub too.

      Yes, my skin is extremely dry and has gotten worse as I have aged. I am really bad about using cream even though I know it would help.

      Yes definitely, indeed my entire body is very dry. I keep skin care products companies in business. In fact, the best skin care product I continue to use and always will is CeraVe.

      I have noticed it much more this year but it is probably because COVID hand washing and hand sanitizer usage! And it has been very dry here in so cal.

      I have dry dry skin. I also have a “hypothyroid” which contributes.

      All my skin is dry – especially hands & feet. I get excellent relief using Mary Kay’s “Satin Hands” set. I didn’t know that hypothyroid caused dry skin also – I appreciate whoever mentioned that.

      I thought it was even worse this year because of the hand sanitizer but it has been bad for a lot of years. And yes I have Hashimoto’s Thyroid disease.

      I do because I wash my hands about a hundred times a day. My feet, elbows & knees always need my attention too. My Cetaphil for extra dry/sensitive skin does my skin wonders all year round.

      I’ve always had normal skin, but the older I get the dryer all my skin is. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetic at 18. My blood sugar has gone from 167 to below 20 in less than an hour. I’ve been on a pump since 1996, I wear a sensor and I check my blood glucose 6-10 times daily. I’m very proactive but I also know diabetics that could care less. I’m 65 & recently celebrated my 47 anniversary of Type1D on November 3, 2020. My vision is very good & my kidneys are excellent, Thank God & the medical technology since the 1980’s.
