Suggest Treatment For Insulin-induced Edema

I have insulin indued endema that is not going away. I have had liver test, kidney tests, chf, blood pressure and those are fine. The edema set in one week after an severe increase(and effective) increase to my insuin. My diabetes is in the best control ever but this edema is now affecting my life in negative ways(weight gain with swelling...cannot wear shoes...perhaps some breathing trouble) Is there a treatment available in Ireland for this?
