General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Since you are diabetic then the first thing that should be checked is kidneys function since diabetics may have serious kidney damage due to their primary disease. This may lead to fatigue with swollen extremity. ¨Second cause is heart disease. At this point you need to avoid salty food, alcohol and regulate your blood sugar strictly. If there is no improvement, you should see cardiologist to rule out latter cause that i have mentioned. I hope I have answered your query. Wish you good health.
