[QUOTI'm r"Kansenji, post: 31010, member: 9050"]I am Type 2 Diabetic and, since being diagnosed 3 years ago, my Blood Glucose readings have climbed inexorably, never going below 15.1 mmols/litre and more usually about 17.5mmols/litre before meals. I have been on Metformin, then Gliclazide; since yesterday, I am on Novomix 30 Insulin twice daily, plus 1 Gliclazide tablet twice daily.
About eight weeks ago, I noticed that my foreskin (only) was sore, red & swollen (Posthitis). Since then, it has fluctuated from being near normal to very sore, all the time with skin shedding. I haven't had sexual intercourse for about two years :shock: so I know I have not picked up an infection. I have tried more frequent washing, Hydrocortisone cream, Canesten cream, Chlorhexidine cream and Vaseline. Only the Vaseline has had any effect, possibly because it protects the foreskin from urine. That made me think that it might be something in my urine.
I wonder, as my Blood glucose levels are quite high, might I have KETONES (acid) in my urine that is causing the irritation? Do Ketones cause such problems? Has anyone (man or woman) experienced similar irritation? :?[/QUOTE]
Well im the same way I have had a breakout on my bottom area to blisters I feel
