[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1992932, member: 222691"] In that case, push for some! YOU need to be proactive in your own care. It's a chore and you need to be persistent, but if you don't ask, you don't get! The NHS relies on too many people being complacent and just taking the thought that they know best as gospel. Get out and rattle a few cages. You're lucky you've seen 4 people in 2 years, I only have seen 1! They took my bloods to check if I was T1, and promptly lost them as well. Swollen hands isn;t a normal diabetes symptom. It can happen with dehydration, the skin will feel tight and uncomfortable. If you wear any rings, I'd get them off, they have a habit of constricting circulation if the swelling is bad. You need to go to your GP if this is a new thing for you. If your skin gets red and hot, it could be an inflammation or infection, known as cellulitis, you may need antibiotics. Yes, frequent infections can be a diabetic issue, due to the high sugar levels offering a convenient growing medium for any bugs. [/QUOTE]
