“Why is this product more expensive than other creams on the market?”

There is no other product on the market formulated specifically for the diabetic, neuropathic foot, with all of these ingredients. Emu Oil, mink oil, the purest Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Concentrate….other products feature an aloe-vera EXTRACT, Dr. Rehm has carefully selected each ingredient for its properties.

“Why should I buy the ToesEase & the DiabetiCream, can’t I just buy the cream?”

Would you wax your car without washing it first? The ToesEase cleans and loosens debris around the skin and nails, the DiabetiCream moisturizes and conditions the skin.

“Okay, so why do I need the ToeSoak?”

The ToeSoak contains Dead Sea Salts which are proven to be very therapeutic and aid in exfoliating dead, dry, scaly skin. Dr. Rehm recommends soaking your feet at least once a week…it is soothing and relaxing. It is very effective as a foot shampoo in the bath or shower and because it is designed for the diabetic it is much less abrasive than other foot scrubs.

Doctor’s Professional Foot Therapy

This is a line of foot products formulated to help manage skin and nail problems common to the diabetic foot. They have been clinically tested with patients at the Diabetic Foot and Wound Treatment Center in San Diego, California. Kenneth Rehm, D.P.M. is the medical director and worked on these formulas to address the needs of his patients, selecting each ingredient with care for its specific properties.

Appropriate skin & nail care is important because people with diabetes often suffer from Autonomic Neuropathy. Autonomic Neuropathy is a common nerve problem contributing to adverse skin and nail conditions. The sweating mechanism is altered and therefore results in thickened, dry, cuticles and nails as well as dry, stiff, cracked skin, which is subject to a buildup of thicker calluses. Bacterial and fungal infection could be more likely because irritated skin serves as a good place for germs to thrive. Thickened nails can even become ingrown and cause infection to the areas surrounding the nail.
