When I was about 16 years old I squeezed myself in a pair of jeans two sizes too small. In an attempt to zip those tight jeans up I nicked the skin on my belly. I thought nothing of it and continued on with my day to day stuff. I cannot remember how long it took for me to get sick, but I got there. Fever, feeling rotten, a big red rash on my stomach that got larger and larger and was very painful. I took myself off to the nurse who immediately got the Dr in.  I was told I had cellulitis. I was duly told off by the Dr and put on strong antibiotics. It was a long time ago now, but I still remember that huge boil like lump on my stomach. You can get cellulitis with the smallest of nicks or a scratch. I had barely broken the skin and I got cellulitis. So don't feel guilty. I would like to say well done on losing that weight and controlling your diabetes towards remission.</blockquote>
