Brief answer...given below Detailed answer... Hello, Thanks for the query. I have read your query and feel that you must consult your endocrinologist as early as possible. Although you are a patient of chronic venous insufficiency but a recent onset of swelling in both lower feet and ankles could be because of... Peripheral artery disease Kidney problem Uncontrolled hypertension. Redness in toes and heels suggest local cellulitis which needs prompt treatment with antibiotics. There could be additional element of diabetic neuropathy also. All these manifestations are due to uncontrolled diabetes of longterm standing. You need to be managed properly and promptly. I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query. Best of luck Thanks
