What is my body lacking? I bruise easily, and they heal slowly!?!
Question: Well, I bruise like a fruit, and it can take weeks for it to completely disappear. I'm concerned, because I don't know what vitamin, mineral, etc., that I'm missing out on. I take a vitamin supplement everyday, but I'm guessing that isn't enough.
- What can I do?
- I naturally have very, VERY low blood sugar, and I have to carry around something to bring it when necessary, does that have anything to do with it?
Thanks, in advance.

Okay, you need to go to your doctor, and trust me on this, you could be a diabetic, I am, and I do the very same thing.
go get tested...if not diabetic, your doctor will let you know what is causing it...I have been a diabetic for 23 yrs now, and this is how I do, I bruise and it will stay for 2-3 wks under the skin, you think it will never leave...but you wont know what yours is till you see your doctor....do not put it off.
do you stay thirsty, always kinda hungry, well that is diabetes, and it can be controlled without insulin, I am on Actors 45 mg per day, once a day now for 11 yrs....and I control it with exercise and diet...
please go to the doctor, then let us know what is wrong okay.
take care of yourself kiddo.
oh, a cut will take a little longer to heal also...
add on, sitting here reading the Medical Journal Dictionary, and you could also be lacking Vitamin B-12 in your body,
hemo's do not fit this description for bruising....by hypoglycemics do, low blood sugar...if I find more, I will add on, I have a call into my Brother, he is a Thoracic Surgeon, well I emailed him.......we will see what he says also.
Miss Lucy from my brother.
1-diabetic
2-b12 deficiency really bad
3-anemic, and seems severe he said...
4-lack of iron will not cause this kind of brusing
he said only your doctor testing will find the solution, so Miss Lucy, when are you going to the doctor.....
and one other choice per him, is that this happens to people due to old age, now I know that ain't the case....
Iron.
You could have hemophilia. google it and see symptoms.
Well it could be that it has do to with your blood sugar but i don't think it does. It's probably the same thing I have which is poor circulation. There's not much you can do though my doctor did suggest get some calcium pills and see if that worked and it has decreased the bruising tremendously. I still bruise but not nearly as much. Good luck and God bless!
Your anemic..........eat iron rich foods........not alot but more than usual.
