Diabetics lose magnesium thru the urine. So supplementing with it may help with the circulation to the toes.

You can soak in epsom salts soaks in lukewarm water, or use a magnesium lotion...(Morton's was recently discontinued).
There is a magnesium cream still available... Kirkman brand.

200mg a day on the lower legs/ankles and tops of feet may help the blood supple to the toes. (100mg on each leg)

We have all been protesting the Morton's decision but it will probably be useless. That lotion was a miracle for me and many others here. I am so angry, that I won't ever buy a Morton's product ever again!!!
