Hello,

There are points that are not mentioned in the message and these points will answer your query:

1, what is your age?
2, what is the age at which diabetes was detected?
3, what are the medications you are on for diabetes?
4, what were the levels of sugars when diabetes was detected?
5, what type of sugar test is 112? Fasting, PP, or random?

The features of dry mouth, frequent urination are 2 important symptoms that suggest the testing for diabetes. As for the ankle's swelling you will need to get your kidneys tested- urine microalbuminuria should be ideal if this is a recent symptom.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saumya Mittal
