[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2196888, member: 160246"] [USER=462792]@miffli[/USER] I don't think you're stupid, nor do I think I am stupid. On the other hand, there is a lot of helpful as well as bad, just plain wrong, information online, also on television, and in print. My glucose levels ran high initally in 2015 for weeks despite eating all the right foods. The only thing I know to do in these circumstances is to continue monitoring, stay the course, consult your doctor as needed, and continue riding out the storm. It's frustrating. I vented a lot during those early weeks. My friend who has had diabetes for 20+ years called me last night. She's the one who developed high blood pressure followed by edema in her legs, followed by three hospitalizations in a year's time. For her leg swelling, initially she was instructed to limit water intake to 47 ounces a day, to elevate her legs above her heart when laying down or sleeping, and to flex her feet periodically. She also is hopeful you'll be able to see your doctor soon to determine the cause of your leg swelling. When I developed swelling in my feet and ankles, my doctor ordered lab work and an ultrasound.
