But what is the connection between cracked and calloused heels and
diabetes? I always understood that cracked and calloused heels was due
to calcium deficiency.

The autonomic nervopathy in people who have diabetes leads to less sweating
and that leads to a dryness of the skin - which is the reason for cracked
heels. It has nothing to do with calcium.
