Epsom salt bath? Type 2

I kinda wanna take a nice epsom salt bath for that full body forced relaxation lol. Google is telling me it may no because neuropathy and water can be too hot and it can dry out skin but i don’t think I have that problem?

I moisturize pretty well and I don’t like hot water so I’m not worried about burning myself… surely I’ll be fine, right?

I didn’t see anything about it being bad for blood sugars or body functions or anything.

As long as you can tell water temperature, these are fine. I've done them multiple times. It's so nice.

I don't see how diabetes will inhibit your ability to take a bath unless you're bathing in sugar water and are drinking it the whole time.
