What Causes Bruises And Swelling On Ankles And Legs In Diabetic Patient?
I have diabetes 1 and I am 34. I am overweight and I have swelling in my ankles and legs. I am also getting bruises that are not caused by anything . I am worried that It may be something serious caused by my diabetes. I found out I had it when I was 25.
Dear Sir/Madam, Skin manifestations due to uncontrolled diabetes are common. You need to take care of your feet by using protective foot wear, moisturizing lotions and pedicure. Regarding the swelling i will be able to comment better based on your height weight and the list of your current medicines. Do not worry and take steps towards foot care & weight loss. Feel free to get back with any query. Dr.Riyaz Sheriff
