I think it is important to be well hydrated (water only) before Blood tests. I understand that the A1c can be misleading if we are dehydrated.
And yes I've also found that I bruise more easily these days and that the bruises tend to stay around for longer... in fact even small cuts seem to take longer to heal.
It might not be just the Diabetes (once diagnosed I sometimes think we blame everything on it) and it may be related to BG control as well.
