What can i do to help my mom who has diabetes and always has swollen feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proper medical care: This is where a team approach should be maximized. Your mom should be seen by her internist as well as a podiatrist. There are many causes of swollen ankles. The internist will make sure her heart and kidney function is fine. Other concerns like hypertension will be looked into. The podiatrist will examine circulation of lower extremities as well as biomechanical components.
