If you're a person with diabetes and you've had an angiogram or an angioplasty or a stent, you need to make sure you're on the correct medications and if you've had a balloon or a stent it may be that your blood thinning medications will have changed, so please ask your doctor to make sure that you're on the correct medications after your procedure. You also need to check the access site and this is often the groin. It may be the same groin of the foot that's being treated or it may be the opposite side. So you need to make sure that there's no bruising, swelling.
