Is The Leaking Of Clear Fluid From Right Arm Related To Diabetes?
I am a 27 year breast cancer survivor. Over the last year or two, I have noticed swelling in my right arm. Often it feels tight and uncomfortable. I have not felt good in a number of years but recently have been so tired and begin to feel there is something bad wrong with me. I see a breast care specialist regularly, even get breast MRI s. I had a reoccurrence 6 years ago in the same location in my right breast. I m often dizzy and unsteady on my feet. My right arm has started leaking clear liquid and my internist told me last week that I m diabetic. Do I have lymphadema or is this leaking of clear fluid related to diabetes?

The lymphadema maybe related to the axillary node clearance during mastectomy (If you have underwent the procedure). Diabetes as such may not have a direct connection with the leaking fluid.
