Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the history you are providing, it appears that there could be certain amount of soft tissue inflammation and infection at the inserted site of Nexplanon.
Since you are diabetic and blood glucose levels seems to be fluctuating and remaining higher than normal, it would aggravate the condition.
You need to visit your primary care physician promptly and get it clinically assessed so that appropriate treatment can be instituted.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
