Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion you should manage high blood sugar level it may not be the main cause of the swelling but it may exaggerate it. elevating his leg above 2 pillows , rest , avoid standing and sitting for a long tome , anti edematous drugs are helpful , topical NSAIDS like voltaren gel are of good value with hot massages .
