Funny at one stage my feet looked like puffa fish, I had tankles instead of ankles, my toes couldnt even touch the ground from how puffy my feet were. |
Yeah, exactly, it's interesting the way changes in blood sugar can affect that.
My wife's grandmother is diabetic, and her feet swell up like that at night after her insulin. When she takes it earlier in the day it does the same thing but not quite as much. She has to be careful about what shoes she wears while taking medication now! At any rate the doctors have said that this isn't a serious thing, although it has been like this for several months.
