I must agree with Tammy, part of it may simply be a male thing, as Jim is quite loathe to go to the doctor, even when he definitely needs to, and he does not have PTSD. I am not certain all the reasons though some of it is male pride (with Jim anyway) and not wanting to appear weak. However Jen, your husband must indeed be careful with diabetes and wounds of any kind. Such things can turn very serious very quickly.
