Family Caregiver Checklist:
• Decide which of the family members will help the designated caregiver.

• Decide how much help they will be able to give.
• Establish a good relationship with your loved one’s primary care physician.

• Meet with a lawyer to get legal advice on decisions that need to be made about healthcare and finances.

• Learn as much as you can about the illness, so you can deal with it as best you can.

• Try to teach family and relatives about the illness so they will understand what is happening to your loved one.

Skin Care - I care my dad who is 81 years old and a diabetic. His skin is very dry and I am constantly slathering his legs and arms (especially) with lotion. In addition, his feet stay very dry.
I've tried Gold Bond's Ultimate Hydrating Lotion Diabetic's Dry Skin Relief, but sometimes I have to reapply throughout the day.
The product that really works for us and is especially great for his feet is Janeal's Shea Butter. It looks thick but when you rub it between your hands the warmth of your hands smooths it out like butter. And a little goes a long way. I don't have to reapply through out the day and it keeps my dad's feet hydrated and soft which as you know good foot care is very important for diabetics. If you are interested in trying Janeal's Shea Butter for loved one's skin care needs, send an email thru the Full Circle... FB page or message me.
