Hi all, I am new on the forum but have had DMII for a long time I was dxed in 1991. I started the fight with oral meds. I lost 100 lbs. BG’s were great stopped meds and controlled with diet only.
Fast forward to Aug this year. Left leg\foot was swollen. Noticed spot of blood in sock. Waited a week to see if it would go away. No dice, leg still swollen and spot of blood getting larger.
Went to Dr. he sent me directly to hospital with diabetic ulcer on my left foot. Well after 26 days in the hospital I now have 2 less toes than I started life with a couple of stents in my aorta and vascular surgery done on my left leg called a fempop. Also did 20 treatments in the hyperbarics chamber to get foot healing.
Now I have been dxed with PAD and PN in all extremities.
So be very careful with your feet and don’t wait to see doc if you have a problem. Rich
