I might as well get all the hate up front by saying, people learning medicine are the most dangerous to listen to. You go from the average person to learning about something by being told. You base way to much on the little you know. After you learn it all and then work in the field and see for yourself under supervision do you become a good reference point.
This applies to a lot of technologies. I am not picking on medical professionals
Circulation problems is not a type 2 or 1 problem, it is a poor control problem. So is healing.
If you have bloated feet now, you might want to work on that first. If you are in good shape already then you have nothing to fear. You do have to realize you are older and pain will take longer to go away. You can compare it to others your own age that you spar with.
I give blood several times a week. a little bit here, a little bit there, you get the picture. But I heal as fast as people a decade or more younger, though muscle and joint aches seem longer to go away.
