dear sir I can understand your concern.
swelling of feet in diabetes can be due to two main resons
1. there can be a condition called cellulitis which will make your skin of legs to become red and extremely painful.
2. the second problem can be due to problem in kidney for that you need to check his serum cratinin
there is some chance of cardiac problem may also cause swelling of feet
I suggest you to visit a physician and try speaking with him regarding this three possibilities
