Brief Answer:
Few questions.

Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
Is the swelling just on the skin or a deep swelling? Is it near the insulin injection area?
How is your urine flow? Any swelling in XXXXXXX or ankle?

It would have been nice if I could examine you, but otherwise, it is very difficult to determine the cause of abdominal swelling. Could you attach a photo of the swelling if possible?
Regards
Binu
