Hi apart from putting a cold compress on you feet etc not really know what else you can do it's really a medical matter why haven't you seen you're consultant for 2_3 yrs it should be every 6to12 months if I was you I would certainly go back to your doctor and get referred back to your hospital to see if they can sort this out good luck with this?.

Before I was diagnosed I also had very swollen feet in the summer. I realize now that my BG must have been too high because the last summer I didn't have that problem. Also I was drinking a lot of mineral water in the summer and it has salt in it so I wasn't hydrating enough.

Keep hydrated and sit with your feet up whenever you can - get it checked out though fluid retention can be caused by under lying problems
