Ugh. As if I do not have enough health issues to deal with, I just found a large blood blister on my foot below the ankle. I’m not sure how it got there. I’ve been wearing the same shoes for months without any problems.
I just noticed it a few hours ago but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t there last night since I was using a massage wand on my left foot due to some neuropathy pain. Maybe it was from the ~20 minutes on the treadmill. I also found a slight abrasion on the ankle bone hence the bandage. Maybe I banged my foot against something that caused the abrasion and bruised the blister area.
I know diabetics are susceptible to blisters and ulcers on their feet. My blood sugar has been under pretty good control for months now. I measure my blood sugar most mornings and all have been below 100 mg/dL, and my A1C test results have been good. I guess I’ll have to contact my podiatrist Monday as well to see what he wants to do about the blister. The last one I got on my toe, due to some foreign objects in my shoe, went away after a few weeks. This one is much bigger and I’m afraid I’ll pop it by accident.
