Wound and diabetes: Please take your friend to see her primary doctor. The doctor will know how long she has had diabetes and whether it is type 1 or type 2. Type 1 is constant, type 2 can be beaten! Hope all goes well! PS: If it is type 2, a nurse practitioner can help her get rid of her diabetes! May take some time but it is worth it!
