Diabetes and Feet!!!!!
If you or someone dear to you has diabetes, please read on….
A little prevention is far better than waiting to have problems with feet. These can include cracked heals, fungal infections, sores between the toes, and infected nails. And, in many cases, slow healing.
We have three outstanding products for feet, especially for 'more mature' people. Foot Lotion, Foot Powder and Dabbit.
Foot Care:
*Apply lotion directly after showering
*Apply Foot powder as needed
*Use Dabbit for any cuts, or redness around nails to prevent infections.
*Clean socks every day
ON THE BALL FOOT LOTION: Our Foot Lotion is antifungal, and contains cayenne and comfrey which increases circulation. Because poor circulation is often part of the problem with diabetes and foot trouble, this is an excellent foot product choice. We recommend using our On The Ball Foot Lotion after showering while the skin is slightly damp making the lotion more easily absorbed. The lotion base is perfect for moisturising the skin, helping to avoid skin becoming dry or cracked. The strong Tea Tree in this product is an effective anti-fungal.
ON THE BALL FOOT POWDER: Our foot powder is also anti-fungal, absorbs dampness, prevents friction, and makes feet feel really comfortable. Also is talc free.
DABBIT: For toe nail (or fingernail) infections our product Dabbit is really effective. It can deal to established infections, and will heal septicaemia through the skin. It comes in a convenient 10ml rollon bottle. Very potent, so only a tiny drop is needed. This product has two actions, fights the infection, and the healing herbs help the body to heal itself. For established infections it must be applied several times a day.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
