If you have an endocrinologist, go and see them! Otherwise you may need to see a vascular surgeon.
These are signs of peripheral neuropathy and can be very serious.
I URGE you to see a doctor. But DO NOT DO NOTHING!
go to the doctor. this is nothing to fool around with… Diabetics can have a circulation problem and can lose appendages from this….
being diabetic you are a good candidate for being an amputee. get yourself to the doctor.
YOU NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!
It is possible that you have lost circulation to these toes, as sometimes happens with diabetes- it’s why they tell you to take such good care of your feet. This can lead to serious problems- the tissue can die. You need to call you doctor and tell them you need to be seen TODAY. If he can’t get you in, then you need to go to the emergency room. Take care.
Call your Dr. My dad died because of Diabetes. It is a very mean disease… Good luck
its probably something really simple that is easily rectified but I would go and see your doctor straight away, especially with you being a diabetic. hope everything works out ok.
I’d head to the doctor and/or hospital immediately. Numbness and discoloration is not something you should be asking in an internet site. Let medical people solve it.
Sweetie get to a hospital or Doctor ASAP!! That is not a good sign for a Diabetic.
If your regular doctor hasn’t commented on this, change doctors at once. A large group will usually have somebody really up on diabetic side-effects.
This condition – the toe thing – must be attended to at once or you’ll be learning to use a prosthetic leg.
Please don’t wait any longer.
You should definitely see a doctor. Foot care is extremely important for a diabetic.
If your foot starts to go numb you could have diabetic neuropathy.
If your toes are turning blue or black it could be a warning sign of gangrene, however if the nails are turning yellow it could be a sign of fungal infection.
It could also be gout which is a form of arthritis.
In any case see your doctor without delay.
diabetis can cause a limitation of blood circulation , if you are diabetic you should know that taking extra ordinary care of your extremetis is vital to preven the possibility of gang green, which will cause the doctor to have to amputate in order to save your life . i’ve lived with diabetic friends my whole life , believe me don’t wait go to the emergency room now, and i mean now !
How long have you been a diabetic? If you have just recently been diagnosed then I understand your question. Otherwise, You know dare well that the first thing a diabetic Specialist M.D. ask about and want to see if your feet. From my basic first aid experience blue coloring indicate blood-flow problems…the lack there of and yellow tone nails indicate fungi. GO! GO! GO! To your Diabetic Specialist and or Podiatrist.

GET TO YOUR DOCTOR NOW!!!!!! with being a diabetic, your feet are always at high risk dont mess around go today!!!!!
The blue color is because you don’t have enough blood circulating in your toes. The yellow is a toenail fungus. Diabetics often get that. But you must get to a doctor IMMEDIATELY about your toes.
Good luck to you.
Gangrene of toes is beginning. Get to doctor immediately.
Blood is not circulating to your foot. You will have to go to the hospital asap. Your doctor will tell you to go to the hospital. Chances are, if the doctors at the hospital can’t get the blood circulating again to your foot, they might have to amputate the toes.
go to your doctor and tell him about it now
i lost my little toe from waiting to long.
this is a bad sign that infection is setting in and you could lose your toes as well.
don’t wait
Tell the doctor for sure. I am a type II and have tingeling and swelling in the feet and hands as well. If you don’t take care of those diabetic feet you could lose toes or even more. Stay in close touch with your doctor.
with out a doubt go get medical attention asap you did say your toes turning blue right.
It is really important to take care of your feet as a diabetic. At this stage you definitely should seek medical attention. You should look to find shoes and socks specially made for diabetics too. I do run a site that sells diabetic socks, but more than selling a product I want you to have healthy feet (I’m the son of a podiatrist). I hope everything turns out well for you. Please take care of your feet.
