Anonymous Question Black toe - could I be diabetic?

Book an appointment with your doctor immediately.

It could be related to diabetes but other factors may apply too. Either way, if it's turning black, it definitely needs checking out as soon as possible.
 
Could be anything, from infection to poor circulation but it does need seeing to because something is causing it. If there is no sensation, you may have banged it unknowingly and it may be a bruise but the fact that there was no sensation should be enough for you to go and ask a GP.
 
definately see your gp asap as whatever the cause ,it definately isnt normal,
let us know how you get on
