Probably a strange question, I wondered have any of you noticed any sort of link between an increase in psoriasis as you got higher levels of blood Glucose eventually ending in Diabetes.
My Psoriasis started about 8 years ago, about the same time I was told I was Glucose intolerant, and it has very gradually increased over the years possibly alongside my Glucose levels increasing, through to the point where I am now a confirmed Type 2 Diabetic, and the Psoriasis is a distinct daily problem.
Any wound I suffer, (eg) cut/scrape/gash that lets blood flow, seals incredibly fast, a deep cut across a finger seals within minutes, and smaller cuts just disappear as if they were never there, again within minutes, it makes getting blood from my fingers using a lancet application pen very difficult most of the time and I have it on the highest setting, apparently that is the Psoriasis doing that, also strains sprains heal quick too, and any bone damage such as breaks or fractures have added on extra bone growth to those areas at quite a rapid rate.
My blood circulation is good, pinch a toe or extremity, and it immediately re flushes with blood upon release, generally sensation is good too, I do have a couple of numb dumb toes, but that started after my second major spinal surgery at L4/L5/S1 when they hit some nerves whilst clearing away the damaged ligaments and fusing some of the joints.
There is no discolouring or fungal growth on any of my feet proper or toes.
So there you have it, Any thoughts welcome, thank you
