Why is proper skin care so important for people with diabetes?
Diabetes can affect every part of the body, including the skin. As many as one third of people with diabetes will have a skin disorder caused or affected by diabetes at some time in their lives. Luckily, most skin conditions can be prevented or easily treated if caught early. We’ve carefully selected and designed our products to do just that.

The key for proper skin care for people with diabetes is to prevent dry skin. Scratching dry or itchy skin can open it up and allow infection to set in. Moisturize your skin to prevent chapping, especially in cold or windy weather. Just be sure not to put lotion between your toes—extra moisture there can encourage fungus to grow.
This formulation, enriched by Vitamins A, D & E and Aloe Vera, promotes healing while gently exfoliating dry, callused skin. Insight® Daily Skin Therapy absorbs quickly and has a clean, fresh scent. Use twice daily on your feet or as an all-over body treatment.
Heel Cream - 2 oz. jar
- Gently softens and smoothes heels
- Eliminates calluses and exfoliates heels to reveal healthier, softer skin
- Non-greasy formulation absorbs quickly
Cracked heels and calluses are common problems for people with diabetes, but it's extremely important to address them with your physician as quickly as possible, because if left untreated, they can lead to a foot ulcer.
The deep moisturizing formula of Insight® Heel Cream gently softens and smoothes the heels of your feet and eliminates calluses, while protecting against any potential infection. Specifically designed for people with diabetes, Insight® Heel Cream does not use ingredients that dissolve or burn skin tissue like other callus or wart removal products. The active ingredient (Triclosan 0.3%) also helps protect against infection.
Anti-Fungal Lotion - 1 oz. tube
- Clinically proven treatment for fungal infections (including athlete's foot)
- Relieves itching and burning
- Encourages cell regeneration and healing
The culprit in fungal infections of people with diabetes is often a yeast-like fungus called Candida albicans. It can create itchy rashes of moist, red areas surrounded by tiny blisters and scales. These infections often occur in warm, moist folds of the skin, commonly in between fingers and toes.
Insight® Antifungal Lotion is a clinically proven treatment for diabetes-related fungal infections including athlete's foot (tinea pedis). Our product is enriched with Aloe Vera, Vitamins and Allantoin to relieve itching and burning while encouraging cell regeneration and healing. Miconazole Nitrate (2%) is the active ingredient.
