Ouch, if it's warm to the touch and very sore, go to your GP asap in case of infection. Or better still, make an appointment with your surgery's nurse to give a once over. I caught my little finger in my dad's old blanket box last year and after 8 days, it was throbbing, so painful, hot and swollen, an infection set in, so I was given
antibiotics. Take care now.

Me not on insulin so can't imagine what you have to contend with I know you said before you are a grazer may be you should be eating regularly. That is some sore leg you have think you should bite the bullet and see someone about it. Good luck with family lol. PS not preaching.;)

Thanks for the support. It really helps psychologically. For me, getting my head around a complete lifestyle change and changing habits of a lifetime has been the hardest. Unfortunately it seems that those without diabetes can only understand, to a point, what you are going through.

After 26 years, it can still be a big pain and I just want to scream, but having support and a liile understanding from great members on here is half the battle.
