Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Recurrent boils is sign of increased blood sugar and infection and boils also can increase your sugars. sugar of 300 is really high and it might affect wound healing. I would suggest you to start on insulin till the boil heals and then we could reassess hin and change to oral tablets.
