Members responded to a question about random bruising in people with diabetes, with several offering possible explanations including poor blood sugar control, vitamin B12 deficiency (especially for those taking Metformin), or side effects from medications like steroids, aspirin, or blood thinners. Many community members emphasized the importance of consulting a doctor to identify the underlying cause, while others shared personal experiences with bruising and how they monitor or manage it. A recurring theme was that while bruising can happen for various reasons related to diabetes or its treatments, medical guidance is essential to rule out serious concerns.

Indeed, I actually work up the other day and had a nice albeit, small, one just beneath my eye, but it faded during the course of the week. Then last week I found one on the back of my leg and was a bit worried so took a photo of it to check to see if it got bigger, but by the end of the week it had faded.
