I am not a physician, but a mom of a child with type 1 diabetes, and the daughter of someone with
type 2
diabetes. I can tell you from experience that people with
diabetes, whether
type 1 or type 2, usually heal a lot slower that a person with out diabetes. It took my mom over 2 years to have a wound heal because her diabetes was not under tight control. My daughter, who is on the pump and in good control, takes a longer to heal than her friends.
