COULD BE: Swelling of the lower extremities and feet is an indication that something is off. In a 19-year-old with diabetes, it is best not to take any chances. It could be due to medication, diet, metabolic changes, or a number of other factors. If it persists, it is best to get it checked.

See a doctor: You need to discuss this with your doctor so he can check out the cause of the swelling.
