I have the sorisis on the inner thighs and on my belly, the right inner is worse then the other.I am a 48 yr old diabetic and this never happened before. Can I use vaseline or whatelse. ## Have you seen a doctor and had the diagnosis of Psoriasis confirmed? If you are diabetic, there are several possible things that could cause it and your doctor needs to check and make sure it is not the development of a serious complication, such as problems with your circulation. Mild cases can be treated with over the counter creams and lotions, however, this site is not medical professionals to suggest a treatment or diagnosis. More severe cases require prescription medications, sometimes lotions/creams or the use of steroids.

If taking b.i.d. what time should I take it. ## B.I.D. means Bis in Die, latin for twice in a day, so you should take it every 12 hours. There would no specific time to start the med, you should pick a time convenient for you that will help you remember to take it, for instance, if you arise for to get ready for work at 7am, you could take it then, then take the next dose at 7pm when you know you will still be awake to take it. ## Actually with diabetes medications such is this it might be advisable to take the first dose with breakfast and the last dose with supper.

The best thing for me. ## Diabetics, especially on medications ...

Type II diabetes med. ## I posted 1st mention of this med on this site. I've found nothing(!?) much about it, except mention on a Larry King broadcast. ## Sorry, I wish I could help, but I cannot find any information on it either. Which leads me to believe it is probably not approved and released to the public yet, I did see it mentioned in a magazine article recently that was talking about new diabetes meds, but most of those they mentioned had not been approved for final release yet, and since it does not come up under a search on any of my medical websites or even in a general google search, that probably means it is still in the research and trials phase, or awaiting FDA approval. ## It's spelled januvia.. try a google search on that, there's more info out there.
