My toe is infected :(

I know that as a diabetic I have to take care of my feet, but my toe is infected. It hurts SO bad, especially when my foot is in my school shoes, because I wear tights to school and it squeezes my toes together. It has me limping, it hurts so bad
. SO I went to the doctors so she could look at it, and she swabbed it to see what kind of bacteria is on there,and gave me and antibiotic that I have to take 3 times a day for the next week. She also wants me to dip my foot in warm water and epsom salt 3 times a day, just for this weeekend. When it clears up, she told me to go see a podiatrist. Hopefully it is fine and that the antibiotic and the epsom salt clears it up. It was really painful.
On a side note, it's "that time of the month" and my sugars have been CRAZY. barely under 200 and even into the 300's. It's making me feel tired. I have a feeling that when I go for my next A1C it will still be up, but we shall see.
Anyway, I hope that everyone has a really good weekend :)
