The last couple of days the skin on my abdomen feels like it is on fire. There is no rash and doesn’t itch, just burns and hurts when I walk. I don’t know if this is normal or what I can do to relieve the pain.

Hello good afternoon, you did not messed your results, after a tummy tuck procedure or any other procedure, you have to give your body time to fully heal, swelling takes up to 5-6 months to go completely away, if after that you don't see a flat tummy, you can do liposuction in your lower...
It would be better to have your HgbA1c to be lower in order to keep your risk lower. Diabetics are at higher risk for complications such as poor wound healing and infection. These risks increase when blood glucose levels are not tightly controlled.
Arnica is used to help reduce bruising. It doesn't really address recovery in terms of improved healing or comfort. I would recommend a healthy balanced diet rich in proteins. Any supplements or medications should be discussed with your surgeon.
