Sir I have swelling at bums, neck. Being diabetic, I am advised small surgery. Can't it be dosed with antibiotics or ointments. Also am developed with foot ulcer on my left feet 4th finger applying metrogel sup. Is this due to fluctuating of sugar or any initial damages of urine segregated. Please advice.

I would like you give me some more details like fasting & pp blood sugar levels, hba1c level, lipid profile and medicines being taken. From your explanation it appears that diabetes control is not good. The swellings that you have mentioned are they red, pointing and painful on touch, if so they must be furruncles and on top this if you have developed foot ulcer then it is more serious matter. If you are not on insulin already, please start it straight away with your doctor's advise. If surgery is advised please get it done. Only antibiotics may not be able to resolve the matter.
