A member asked:
My fiance ' hands are really swollen to the point where he can't even pick up a spoon. he also has type 1 diabetes. what can he do to make the swellin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why swollen? : The best course of action to determine how to make this swelling go down is first to diagnose the cause of the swelling? How many years has he had type one diabetes? What are his a1c's? How is his kidney function? Definitely needs to see his emdocrinologist for a thorough assessment as soon as possible! If no endocrine doc, please consult on Prime we will help! Hope this helps!
