Pain in pad of foot and i'm diabetic. getting worse by the day. also bruised.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain in pad: This might be the result of high blood sugar levels. High blood sugars can cause foot problems. How often are you checking your blood sugar, and what numbers are you getting? Lots of doctors recommend 2 or 3 blood sugar readings each day. I don't - one check of blood sugar in the morning before breakfast and another one the next night at bed time. Then adjust dosing till your sugar levels are OK.
