I m type 1 diabetic. I fell on the ice a month ago on my knee. My bruiseis spreading and getting redder. It seems to be getting worse? Should I be concerned? It s also now sore above my knee where it didn t hurt before and there s no bruise up there
HiT hanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concern for the bruises. Apparently it could be due to diabetes itself. Healing of the wounds in patients with diabetes mellitus will be slow and delayed sometimes it may not heal due to uncontrolled blood sugar. It may also be due to infection of the soft tissues. You are therefore advised to check your fasting blood glucose, Chat Doctor. Hope this answers your query. Regards.
