Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your clinical history is concerned do not wear shoe like boots and your swelling is due to poor blood circulation to foot so follow like this- 1) Take diabetic medication as per your fasting blood sugar report, if dose adjustment is required then adjust it. 2) Take vitamin B complex regularly to prevent nerve damage 3) Choose foods lower in fat and calories and higher in fiber. Focus on fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Strive for variety to prevent boredom. 4) Get more physical activity. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day. Take a brisk daily walk. If you can't fit in a long workout, break it up into smaller sessions spread throughout the day. 5) Lose excess weights. If you're overweight, losing even 7 percent of your body weight can reduce the risk of complications from diabetes. To keep your weight in a healthy range, focus on permanent changes to your eating and exercise habits. Hope that helps.

You must be wearing uncomfortable or small size shoes. It will produce swelling in your foot. Swelling can also be produced by some illness like myxoedema, or oedema and hypoproteinaemia. So one has to find the reason. Ill fitting shoes not only produces oedema but also can produce diabetic foot ulcer and gangrene. So take care of your foot. Wash it daily thrice. Apply foot cream and wear loose shoes. If the serum protein levels r low you can eat legumes and dals pulses daily.
