Do any other diabetics suffer from swollen ankles?

I use compression stockings (just the minimal ones from the supermarket), and they're better when I exercise of course, and keep them up a bit.

Does anyone else have any other stories or tips?

    ~I'm a pre-diabetic and my left ankle is ALWAYS swollen, (water logged.) Sometimes my blood pressure is high, sometimes it isn't. When it is high, they just keep checking it until it's at the level they like.

    This question caught my eye, and I was hoping to see a good answer.

    My moms veins stick out a lot and she wears trouser socks, it helps her. There's my tip, hope it helps.~

    A diabetic who has foot issues should see a podiatrist on a general foundation. You can find one within the mobilephone e-book, and they're now not that difficult to get an appt with. Unfortunately, not realizing your ins, I can't say if it might be protected or he desires a referral . Why don't you name them?

    This could be a sign of poor circulation or CHF (congestive heart failure) which means your heart can't process the excess fluids in your body so it stores them in your ankles and other extremities and sometimes your lungs. If it gets worse call your dr, it might go away with an over the counter water pill like diurex

    Diabetes is usually associated with many complications if not taken care.

    Slight evening swelling may be normal & postural if u have to work whole day standing but if it is more than may be it is

    due to high blood pressure & water retention .

    It may signifies renal pathology .Get your renal profile investigated along wit blood pressure .

    If you are taking Actos, as I was, it could be the cause. The swelling went away when my Dr. took me off that medication.

  • You should try Zija. My dad was having the same problems and after he started taking it, he does not have that problem anymore. If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact me
