What Are The Problems Of Swollen Feet In Type 1 Diabetes?
I've had type 1 diabetes for about 4 month and am on insulin injections twice daily. The last couple of days my feet have been sore and today when i got up my feet and ankles were swollen as well as sore. Lastly, my toenails have become very thick, brittle and of a yellow colour. Can anyone give me any advice please.
Go to the doctor, this is a common symptom for newly diagnosed diabetics. Your body was very unhealthy before diagnosis and now it is trying to get back into sync. It is not good to hold that much water in your tissues so the doctor will rule out issues and then probably give you a diuretics. Regarding your toenails, diabetics are prone to fungal infections. The worse control you have, the more you can get fungal infections. Talk to your doctor about this. They may say to wait and see if there is an improvement as your sugars get better or they may send you to a podiatrist. There are treatments for the fungus.
Good luck!
Go to the doctor. I’m not sure what those symptoms mean, but I do know that infection in the feet is very common on diabetics, and in some occasions it leads to amputation. I’m sure you’ll be alright, but you do have to go to the doctor.
Your diabetes isn`t under control. Talk to a specialist and a diabetic nutritionist before you get sicker.
