Uncontrolled blood sugar can delay healing, please see a doctor or dermatologist promptly to evaluate those painful skin wounds. They can safely prescribe the right treatment. Regarding alcohol, it is highly recommended to avoid it. Mixing alcohol with insulin, VOG LOW-GM2, and hydroxyzine can cause dangerously low blood sugar levels and severe drowsiness. Please connect with your healthcare team to help get both your sugar and skin back on track.

Since recovering from COVID-19, I have had uncontrolled blood sugar and high blood pressure managed with insulin, VOG LOW-GM2, and Amlosafe, but I am now developing painful skin wounds on my neck, legs, and groin; should I see a specialist or take extra medicine for these wounds, and is it safe to drink alcohol while taking my current medications?

As you are managing diabetes and high blood pressure with insulin, VOG LOW-GM2 (glimepiride/metformin/voglibose), and Amlosafe (amlodipine), developing painful skin wounds is something we want to address promptly. Please do not self-medicate; instead, I highly recommend seeing a wound care specialist or dermatologist right away to ensure these heal safely. Regarding alcohol, it is safest to avoid it. Alcohol can dangerously lower your blood sugar when combined with your diabetes medications and interfere with your blood pressure control. Please reach out to your doctor soon.
