[Diabetes-talk] raw peeling fingers

[cheryl echevarria]

I have, the same way you do it on your finger, you just keep everything 
steady and you can do it.  You may need someone to assist in this the first 
time you do it. I asked my Nurse Practioner at my doctor's office to help 
me.


The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
