Hi there! Within the past 2 weeks I ve developed a very large and painful lump behind my ear. I have no other symptoms, however after blood tests it was concluded that i have diabetes. Im unsure of what type- further testing is required. I was wondering if you could let me know how exactly this lump ties in with insulin? Thanks!
Hello. Good day. Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. Since the lump has come about in a span of two weeks and its quite painful It's likely to be infected. Skin conditions like these are quite commonly seen in patients with diabetes. Since you have been diagnosed with diabetes you need to know what type it is. If you are overweight with a family history of diabetes It's likely to be Type 2, and you will need diet,
