Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

Sir please let me know the details to have a complete picture of your problem.

You mentioned type 2 and IDDM. They are not same. Type 2 is Non insulin dependent NIDDM, where as IDDM is type 1.

Please tell me the following.

a) Type of insulin you use. Long acting/ short/ mixtard.
b) I would like the details about diet and exercise details.
c) Regarding wound. How did it start? What was the initial diagnosis of wound and any treatment for that. Can you upload picture?

I will be waiting for your details to answer you to the best.

Thank you.
