Hello,
The swollen feet is due to long-standing hypertension. The blood sugar must be well controlled.
Consult a physician and get evaluated. Oral hypoglycaemic agents like metformin may be started.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
