I'm in 40's, diabetic and disabled. My diabetes is moderately controlled but I have since stepped it up a gear since my review in January so it should be improved in my next GP practice nurse review. Was diagnosed 3 years ago.
I've always suffered with cold feet and to a lesser extent, hands. My toe nails and fingernails regularly turn blue in summer as well as winter. During my recent diabetic foot check the GP nurse said it was difficult to feel a pulse in my feet. She suspected Raynauds but has referred me to Podiatry for assessment (appointment at the end of March).
The last few months I've had red spots on the tops of several toes. The practice nurse wasn't sure what they were. This afternoon after coming in from shopping, I took my shoes and socks off and there were new blue spots at the top of toes. My feet felt sore earlier which is why I looked and they are painful to the touch. I called the emergency podiatry clinic and the earliest they can fit me in is Monday late afternoon.
Has anyone seen this before? The blue marks are more defined and darker in real light but unfortunately the camera isn't picking it up too well.
