After doing a little bit of research I've found that diabetics (probably major diabetics) should not soak their feet due to the possibility of drying out the skin and causing an infection. I personally know at leat 10 diabetics who own spas and don't have any problems...the best advice is to consult your doctor on the subject.

the above website contains the information that I found.
