Heated/Electric Blankets

Dh and I recently purchased a couple of heating/electric blankets. I noticed on the pamphlet today that diabetics should not use them,,I have never heard of that before. Anyone know the reason why? Thanks for any input on this..Pat

It is because if a diabetic has any neuropathy at all, you may not realize it is too warm and get burned.
HI Cheryl,
Good heavens, I have DPN and don't use an electric blanket but I feel grateful.
