not a clue hun but get better soon xxx

Don't want to worry you, but 9 is far too high.
normal is 3 to 5, as you have a high reading, it's probably the cause of your skin erruptions and the reason why minor injuries take so long to heal.
Get youself a test kit from the chemists, they're only a few quid, they've got full instructions on how to use them.

So sorry to hear you're in the wars again, I hope they soon get you sorted out xx

I disagree.
When I was first diagnosed my blood sugar level (I assume that's what we're talking about here) was over 18. At that time I was told by my diabetic clinic that they would prefer it to be under 10. It's now 4.7, the lowest ever, but it's taken over two years to get to this point. I personally have never had any of the problems you have had so wouldn't like to say any of them are down to Diabetes.
ZB - please don't panic - wait for the results of your various tests, and let the doctors tell you exactly what the problem. None of us have his sort of knowledge.
