I've never bruised easily and still don't now I have diabetes.
Might be worth asking your doctor about this, if it's a notable difference from before.

If it’s something new and you are concerned make an appointment with your GP, not everything is down to diabetes, a mistake we are all guilty of assuming sometimes, myself included

Well, there are some suggestions that Covid has caused an increase in diabetes. :bigtears: It's good that you are seeing your doctor.
