These symptoms could be related to diabetic complications. It's important to control your blood sugar levels strictly. Homeopathic remedies like syzygium jambolanum may help in managing diabetes, but please consult me immediately for the swelling and back pain, as they might indicate kidney or cardiovascular issues.
