Can diabetics exfoliate?

1 Answer(s) Available
Answer # 1 #

Sugar is not absorbed through the skin, and will not increase glucose in most cases. However, exfoliating the skin can cause abrasions, which can allow sugar to enter the blood stream, and spike sugar levels. Those abrasions can also cause wounds which are very slow to heal in diabetics.
