possibility of carpal tunnel

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case.
Diabetic patients have more incidence of carpal tunnel or tendon tenosynovitis.
carpal tunnel and tenosynovitis can lead to swelling and pain on hand.
I will advise you clinical examination and further investigation like x ray and MRI.
If required EMG NCV study will help in diagnosis.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and Tens may give you relief.
Till time continue analgesic and enzymes like trypsin and chymotrypsin to reduce swelling.
