Hi i am diabetic and recently i have been having breathing problems especially at night, headaches, swollen ankles and stomach feels bloated, what might be the problem?

DM + swelling feet: 1. You are likely eating more salt than your kidneys can get rid of. 2. This will increase your BP and swelling and put stress on your heart that is called heart failure. 3. For this situation I usually recommend the DASH eating plan and check urine Na/K to see how you are doing. When you get to goal Na and K intake the swelling will likely be gone as will SOB. 4. Discuss plan with your team.
