I try to remember to look for cuts or abrasions that are not healing properly. Before I went on insulin I had a few mosquito bites that became infected (a normal thing in the Southeastern US). I did not realize that the poor, slow healing and terrible aestheic appearance of the large site was probably a complication of diabetes. I do not have any nerve damage so I though I was safe. I was wrong and I now am reminded to check by that memory.
