I was wondering if anyone could answer my question;-
Why can't diabetics use ice packs to sooth injuries?
I ask this because i have recently had a total knee replacement & a couple of days after my op i asked the nurse if she could give me something to ease my discomfort & she said she would go get me a ice pack but when she came back a little while later she said i couldn't have a ice pack because i am a diabetic but she did not explain why this is so i thought i'd ask on here!!
