Diabetes has never made it difficult to heal for me or made me more susceptible to illness, so I hate to hear that as much as you!

ouch! looks sore. glad its starting to heal. i cut my big toe once, and ended up in hospital with cellulitus. perhaps if i had called my mom and dad they would have forced me to go long before i needed to endure an extended stay (a whole week!!). take care of yourself! and stay away from crazy-ass kitchen utensils!!

Arg! Don't you hate when that happens..

I was diagnosed as T1 as a 9 year old. The next year at my orthodontist, while removing a retainer, his pick slipped and slashed the inside of my cheek from my back molars to the corner of my mouth!! He completely lost it and didn't charge me FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

We went to my GP the next day and he put me on a 2 week

Ow! I've done that too. My advice: don't do that again. ;) The only time that D made things more complicated for me medically was when I had thyroid surgery. That was the first/only time I've had an insulin shot and the nurses bugged me more than normal to check my sugars. I VERY much disliked the looks/comments of pity from them.

I'm so sorry to hear you had to go through this! But in answer to your question, when hasn't diabetes affected every other situation in my life. I wasn't always convinced that I needed to be careful. I had to have an infection start in my toe before I got help, and then decided to check my feet every single day. Hopefully, this cut will heal and go away with no complications.

Hi Karen...Yes, diabetes pretty much makes everything hard to heal. I specifically remember getting a stye on my eye right before my senior class picture (circa 1980). I always disliked that picture...Hope your finger heals quickly! Good job with typing your post anyway.

Any post that starts with "if you're eating you might want to skip this" is going to be a good post! :) I did feel some chills when I read the details, but it's not that bad. I had an clutzy accident once and as the blood was dripping down my leg I thought, "where's my meter?!" Glad you're good enough to type!

D= Thanks for the warning! Looks sore but not horrific :)
