The blemish upon my feet have been spots. Like brownish-red spots which comparison people get upon their hands. Circulation is fine. Last AC1 was 7. I’m upon a shifting scale with my quick behaving insulin, as well as we take prolonged durability insulin to reason me during a night. My sugarine levels have been great.

If you are a diabetic and you see anything different in any of your limbs (especially the feet) you should consult a doctor immediately. And by immediately, I mean RIGHT AWAY.
It is most likely nothing, however, time is of the essence in your case.
I am diabetic and I consult a podiatrist whenever anything happens to my feet. I personally hold my limbs in the highest regard (lol) and am not willing to do anything to put them at risk.
See a doctor right away.
Take care
No. That is very dangerous and could be due to an infection or lack of circulation in your feet. Go see a doctor now.
Hi,
Have your blood sugars been stable?
Do you have feeling in your feet? (Many diabetics do not have accurate feeling in their feet – this caused a friend to stay in the hospital for over 5 months when he dropped something on his foot and the ER Doctor said ‘if it does not hurt, see your doctor on Monday".)
If you don’t have accurate feelings in your feet, always when you see any doctor, take off your shoes and socks, so they can look at them.
I think it is important if you lack feeling in your feet to have the checked out today. Don’t wait, Christmas is coming, and many doctors want to take vacations to stay with their families, so getting a doctor’s appointment will be more difficult tomorrow than today. Don’t wait until after Christmas.
Do you know what your A1c level is?
If it is over 9%, you need to make drastic diet change towards the healthy lifestyle. If under 7%, you are doing very good with your diet and blood sugar control.

Watch this video – pay carefull attention if your doctors want to amputate your feet, they still treat gangrene in America the same way it has been treated since succsessfully saving many lives in the civil war. By amutating gangrene infected body part, they save the whole body. But in Japan, they treat gangrene with 2.4 PH water that will kill the bacteria on contact. His feet where saved.
Write back if you have more questions, I am listening.
If your A1c is over 8%, take time to read this book, and please follow the diet for 2 weeks, 3 weeks will be better, and see if you start to feel significantly better. His test patients improved their A1c test by 2% lower and also lost weight, and stabilized their blood sugar levels by following his diet plan.

No. That is most likely a sign of poor circulation in the feet.
GO TO YOUR DOCTOR NOW.
Poor circulation is the main cause of gangrene, which leads to amputations. This problem needs to be fixed before you lose you feet!
If you were exposed to a lot of sunlight when you were younger, it can cause brown spots. If you wear sandals most of the time you can get them on the tops of your feet. They are common on the backs of your hands too.
I noticed them when I developed diabetes, it has more to do with high blood sugar than insulin.
It can be related to a poorly functioning liver. High blood sugar can cause circulation problems, but age spots appearing early is probably an indicator of a fatty liver or other liver related problems. If you are overweight, you might have a fatty liver and not even know it .
Insulin does not cause them, at least not according to what I’ve read about them.
By the way, a sliding scale is not the best way to control your blood sugar. A sliding scale is out of date treatment.
Learn to count carbs and adjust your fast acting insulin according to what you eat instead. It works better.
Good luck!
