[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 1195001, member: 12578"] I understand your concern, I've had the same concern in the last week. It's really difficult to decide exactly what to do [U]if you have good glucose levels and if you know there is a cause for the injury. [/U]I've just walked 150 km in 7 days with about 4.500 m of ascent and descent. I now have a partially black large toenail. I know it was bashed on some of the steeper down hills, I felt it.(and yes should have stopped to re lace boots but I didn't) If I was non diabetic then there would be no question; it's a common problem. So now do I follow the advice I would give to others and 'get it checked' ? That's definitely the sensible advice. However, I have to say the I haven't rushed to the doctor and am watching it carefully. That's because I have consistently had an HbA1c in the fives (and very low levels on this walk, albeit with at times surprisingly high ketones when I reduced my basal insulin drastically to avoid hypos). If it weren't for that then I think I should have gone to the doctor/podiatrist and had it checked. [/QUOTE]
