Most bruises and cuts take only about a week or 2 to fully heal up from an average person. The process will take longer if you happen to lack any iron in your blood as well as being diabetic (as the inability for your wounds to heal is a symptom due to the excess sugar in your blood cells). If the latter is the case, you need to see the doctor for diagnosis and proper treatment.

Aloe Vera works well for healing.  For the pain, we used to put a little toothpaste on it, it works well.

No, it is not a cure.  It will help to temporarily lower your blood sugar by helping to make insulin more effective at getting blood sugar from the blood stream into your cells.  \n\nUntil they come up for a cure for diabetes and its precursor condition - hyperinsulinemia - the best advice is to find a diet that lowers your intake of sugar and foods high in natural sugar (high glycemic).  There are many books available at your local library.\n\nCheck out www.hufa.org for more info on blood sugar imbalances.

You just need a little hair of the dog that bit you.\n\nThe sap from the pads from this cactus can be used in first aid similar to the aloe vera plant. Simply cut off a portion of a pad, crush it, and squeeze the juice onto a cut, burn, or bruise. The sap will soothe the wound.\n\nIf you don't have it around you, and cannot get any, use ice and just make sure all the spines are out of your skin. It is not toxic though.

i went to a diabetes class a few weeks ago and the wound care specialist that taught our class says the best kind of soaps you can use are the ones like dove and ivory because they have moisterizers in them to keep you skin moisterized and not to use the ones that are deorderant soaps cause they dry ur skin out

Splenda won't raise your blood glucose levels in the same way that sugar will, but some say its sweet flavor will trigger physiological reactions that will cause your body to produce insulin in preparation for an expected raise in blood sugars.  I've found that its best to avoid going overboard with the sugar substitutes when doing the low carb diets.  It works better when you make an actual lifestyle change and accustom your body to eating foods that are healthy.
