What is the way forward to fix my toes? i have a big gap between me 1st and 2nd toe and my 2nd and 3rd toes seems like they are connected as 1 toe at the bottm part closest to my foot

Do not fix: I have seen this often. It is called partial syndactyly. The complications of trying to "fix" the partially connected toes can be greater than having this harmless condition. It will not worsen if left alone. Think of this as something that just makes you more unique.

First I am a type 1 diabetic. I think I have 1 or 2 broken toes. It's the second and third toe after the big toe. They are swollen and bruised, but outside of that there is really no significant pain. Part of my foot above the toes is swollen also.
