Hi all,
For the past couple of days my ankles have swollen up. My blood sugars are ok, although I have had two readings in the past week of 13 after eating out and drinking a bit too much wine, which I corrected for. Last HbA1c was 5.8%, I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and my BMI is in the normal range.
I am drinking to thirst and don't think I am dehydrated as I don't have dry lips and my pee is pale. I probably did get a bit dehydrated earlier in the week but not for the past couple of days.
My only previous experience of swollen ankles was pre diagnosis, this was the symptom that made me finally go to my gp!
Has anyone got any experience of this?
Thanks
