I Have Type 2 Diabetes And I Broke My 2nd Metatarsal Bone In My Foot. I Would Be Greatful For Any Advice On Healing The Bone Faster.

I'm taking Vitamin C & D, A multi- vitamin and flax, borage and fish oil, and collagen peptide in my water ever morning. What else can I do?

Yes, Orthopedics said that the bone is mildly displaced, but he doesn't feel comfortable with doing surgery because my A1C is high and he doesn't want to cause me any complications. I'm working on bringing that down. So I'm just praying it heals completely. He said if it doesn't heal then I'll have to have surgery which gives me lots of anxiety.
Thank you for your encouragement. I appreciate it. 🙂
