Hot water will also impact circulation in the body!. Some diabetics can't feel their feet due to neuropathies and disruption of blood flow to the lower parts of the leg and feet!. So, if the water is scalding hot and one sticks their feet it, he or she may be burned and not be able to feel it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
In the dark ages, before good glucose control with modern medications and glucometers, most diabetics were challenged by neuropathy much more than they are today!. Testing for glucose levels was a high guessing game!. The urine dip sticks only told if they were high yesterday, and it only measured high if they were over 300!. This caused extreme damage and didn't help to prevent neuropathy!.
All these warnings are from then!!
If you are in good control, there is no reason why you can't soak in hot epsom salts, but do use a thermometer to check the temperature of the water!. Don't trust to the "baby bottle test" or sprinkling a bit of water on your wrist!. Your wrist might lie to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
