So In this blog, I am going to bring up Routine for diabetic patients.

• Bathing should be preferable from lukewarm water and a neem decoction.                                  [Neem decoction is advised for bathing in diabetic patients as they suffered from itching all over the body and neem is anti-microbial nature which helps in decreasing the itching.]
