I've noticed recently that my feet/ankles are sometimes swollen at the end of the day and am wondering if there's anything extra I need to be doing other than normal foot checks and usual advice like putting your feet up etc?

I'm guessing there's nothing to be done to help the condition itself other than controlling glucose levels.

When I had swollen ankles I went to my GP and she prescribed water tablets - which reduced the swelling. I would recommend a visit to your GP, Beccy.
