[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 264841"] Hi, I notice from your previous posts that you have suffered with this before and extreme thirst. Are you dehydrated and is your Dr. aware of the problems you are experiencing with swelling? This is something that needs investigating IMHO. I do not know your age or sex but it can be a symptom of menopause, apologies if you are a male. :oops: It may not even be diabetes related or a side effect of a medication that you may be taking. I think you should see your Dr. about this as he may decide to prescribe a diuretic. Celery and cucumber are good foods to eat to help with the fluid retention too. As for the socks, make sure they are made of natural fibres and have no lycra or other man made synthetics in them. Hope you can get this sorted, it must be very uncomfortable. [/QUOTE]
