Update.
Went to see the podiatrist at my local community hospital today. She's not seen my tootsies before. Bigtoe still has a bit of its top hat left on so she was asking all about that and was amazed when I gave her an idea of its original size, how well it was healing., she was also pleased quick how my other three toes had healed. Wanted to know about my BG levels and my last HB1Ac .
Then came the Doppler test, the one on the top of my foot was regular and blooming loud 🙂, the one to the side of my heel was quieter but regular.
I only need to go back if I'm worried or want anything done. She explained what I should do in an emergency, she very carefully saw to bigtoes nail, so he's looking much happier in himself.
I must say I'm very impressed with the NHS podiatry department .
They also offer a nail cutting service for those who's can't reach their feet easily, but don't have medical conditions entitling them to free foot care, those staff have undergone training by the NHS podiatrist.

Update. It's the tale of three blisters now 😡
I check my tootsies a couple of times a day. When I got up all was fine. This morning when I was moisturisising my feet there they were big and bold one each on my little toe and the remains of my third and fourth toes, no idea how they got there. As luck had it I had an appointment with a NHS Podiatrist this morning, to do my toenails. At first he thought they were due to high glucose levels, why on earth do some professionals just assume that we are all bad diabetics. He checked my GP records and was 🙂
After giving him the history of my left foot, we decided pricking and plasters may be best and if all is well to see him next week, if not I'm to go to GP or the minor injury unit. Then he gave me a full foot tickling session and told me all the things I already knew, however my circulation is good .
I'm hoping the Antibiotics I'm already on will help prevent any infection.
In the car on the way home my dad started trying to go on about me not having anything sugary anymore grrrr notice I said trying to go on. he's the one who eats sweets and biscuits like they are going out of fashion.
