I know diabetes can really throw the hormones into an imbalanced state and I think that is why the slightest upset from anyone in my family could send me into tears, *negative* thoughts and periods of self-loathing, overeating, and self-harming.
Since diagnosis, and Metformin and the Pill, my moods have improved (except when I overindulge in my beloved Carbs) but I face a constant reminder everyday of my "bad days" – I still have What I think are, terrible scars on my legs. 🙁
I’ve been told that slowed healing is a negative side affect to having diabetes (one among many!) but if anyone could help, it would make my day – and my self esteem!
They are flat scars, not raised – i mean their like, 3/4 years old – but because the area they’re located in is a very light color and the scar itself is quite a tanny/ med-dark brown, its very noticeable.
I’ve tried to exfoliate them away, I’ve tried bio-oil and I have a few creams, but If anyone has gone through this and can give me help or has any remedy to fade them away faster, it would be much appreciated.:)
*** I am sorry If I havent posted this correctly, like into the right category etc. This is my very first post apart from my intro….
