1st of all hi. i'm from malaysian and i'm not very good in english. i'm not a diabetes but my girl friend are. you see is regarding her leg. sometime her leg swelling, i got help her massage her leg when she with me. after i massage her leg it will be ok but still if i skip it for few days, her leg will become swelling again or become like stone. is there anyway to prevent it from swelling?
 
HI and welcome,
If i was you i would take her to see a doctor if you have not already as it could be more than just a swollen leg, i was wondering whether she may have a blood clot ( I don't want to scare you) but please seek medical advice just in case.
But for now try keeping her leg raised higher than her hip to try and keep the swelling down.
Please remember i am not a doctor this has just been something i went through myself.
We can only advice people.
Please keep us up dated on how your friend is.
Take care
Tracey
