Over the last couple of summers I have suffered from painful swollen ankles. Does anyone have a remedy as I do not suffer with diabetic feet?
Would appreciate any comments. Thanks
 
I take Furosemide 20mg a day has not raised my blood sugars as far as I can tell.

If I don't take them my ankles start to swell again.
 
I take diuretics too, no effect on my BG levels. Not sure who said that it masks a problem but thbry are talking out of their hate lol. It prevents and treats the problem.

Debs, can I ask if you are significantly overweight? If so, swollen ankles are a common problem. My feet and ankles are swollen at the moment, the cause is sitting in front of the PC with my feet tucked under the chair - it can be as simple as that!
 
One thing that used to annoy me with swollen ankles was the elasticated tops on socks would cause painful ridges within the swollen area or just above,in the end the only thing I could do was take a pair of scissors to my socks and make a cut through the elasticated area.
