hi
Sorry I keep asking so many questions but I don’t know who to ask with a drs appointment been a average of 3 weeks wait, tonight I noticed my feet are quite red, on the soles of my feet to about 2 cm up, the heel is the reddest part, I had a quick google as iv never noticed this before ( bad idea I know ) but the first thing that came up was diabetic foot issues, I hav had no problems with my feet but since seeing the symptoms I have managed to develop tingling in my feet ( probably psychological as I didn’t have it before I read the symptoms ) anywho, does anyone know if redness is a diabetic foot symptom, the skin is still blanching and it’s not hard. I honestly feel like I’m on edge since diagnosis it’s been making me quite depressed feeling like I’m falling apart. Is redness a diabetic foot issue or am I just latching onto anything and blaming the diabetes. I don’t know if this makes a difference but my hca1 was 64 when diagnosed 4 week ago, I am on a low carb diet, lots 10lb in them 4 week and on metformin 1000mg a day and my blood sugar is between 5.1 pre meal and 6.5 2 hrs post meal, pretty much all the time Thank you
