I Have Type 1 Diabetes And Hoshimotos Thyroiditis

I have type 1 diabetes and Hoshimotos thyroiditis . I frequently break out in hives . When I stand or walk for long periods my feet swell realy bad. when I use my hands a lot they swell realy bad. I have taken steroids before and my antibodies went up to over 3,000. Is there anything that can be done to help with my problem? I have made several trips to the ER in the past few years and I have gotten frustrated.
