Hello,
The symptoms of your fiance seem to be related to diabetes.
Diabetes leads to circulation problems because high levels of blood sugar can damage the walls of your arteries.
This may cause purple indention on legs.
I recommend to check the glycemic level and consult the endocrinologist for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
