[QUOTE="wallycorker, post: 108861, member: 17475"] Not very long ago I smashed two of my toes by dropping a car-type battery on them. I broke the two toes but even worse split both of them open - i.e. open wounds. It all looked very nasty and I was very concerned ! The hospital were very worried at the time and there was some frightening talk of skin grafts and even the possibility of amputations. However, the wounds healed quickly. On discharge, I asked the specialist how the toes had healed compared with other diabetics. He replied that they had healed even better than he would have expected in a non-diabetic patient. I hope that was all down to the good blood glucose control I have managed to achieve over the last twelve months. If it was then it is all very well worth doing! John [/QUOTE]
