Type 1 Diabetic blisters

Just reviving/updating this, does anyone know if one should definitely get same day help if blisters appear? Some sites say only do this if they are red. I'm T2 and had one appear a few weeks ago (not red), it seems to be subsiding.

If the blister was on my feet and I had any concerns about my feet and/or circulation, I'd seek immediate help, as these things can get very out of hand very quickly - certainly in under a few weeks.

Sometimes it's better to be overly safe than end up incredibly sorry.

Straight Away........I ended up losing a toe because I left things too long!
 
To add as a type one, I and my t1 relatives have had numerous blisters that we got in the same way the norms did, high heels, bad trainers ect. Popped the fluid out, put a plaster on it, hobbled for a while. Just took us longer to recover is all
