Welcome to the forum.Hi I am new here and my name is Becks diagnosed mid June last year as type 2 diabetic and recently well nearly a week ago underwent minor surgery on my toes and worried as still in pain
I kept getting ingrown toenails and struggling with infections. I had both big toes done a week tomorrow but I have been struggling with pain last 2 days and struggling with walking. I will self cert for last week but I really do not know how I am going to manage returning to work tomorrow as rely on public transport and sometimes I can be up and downstairs like a yo-yo at work so think I will try and see GP asap tomorrow morningWelcome to the forum.
Recovery from even minor surgery can take time and a week is not long but if you are worried particularly about infection you would be wise to contact your GP.
I sympathise as I have an infected toe and it is agony.
Keeping your blood glucose well managed will help reduce the risk of infection and help with healing but yes having it looked at would be a good idea.I kept getting ingrown toenails and struggling with infections.

Thank you so much for responding, appreciate it. I am trying to keep under control my number was 80 last year when I was told I dread to think how many years I have had! Number 54 3 weeks ago which allowed me to go on list for the surgery.Keeping your blood glucose well managed will help reduce the risk of infection and help with healing but yes having it looked at would be a good idea.

You may get some new ideas from this link which I have found successful and make sense. https://lowcarbfreshwell.co.uk/Thank you so much for responding, appreciate it.
