Rather than post it here email it to your GP.

Sometimes people post on here to understand that they are not isolated with their issues.

It could be diabetes related but it would be useful if you mentioned what conditions you have and what medications you are on.

This is a normal effect of anti platelets/ blood thinners. It can show you that the medication is doing it’s job. You may only be on some of the meds for a year or so .. we all all get that, it occurs when you have knocked yourself even slightly, you may not even notice at the time .

Hello. I’m the same. Huge bruises mainly on my arms as a result of being on Clopidogrel, an anti-platelet drug. On the other hand, my husband is noticing the same thing and he is not on any anti-platelet medication at all but his last blood test showed that he had a low platelet count. I would say that you need to talk to your GP and see about getting blood tests done.
