Swelling in the feet and thighs with diabetes and high blood pressure can be due to fluid retention, kidney issues, heart strain, or a side effect of certain BP medicines. It is important to get checked by your doctor soon and have tests like kidney function, a urine test, and possibly a heart evaluation. In the meantime, reduce salt intake, keep your legs elevated when resting, monitor your blood sugar and BP regularly, and avoid stopping any medicines on your own. Proper control of diabetes and BP is very important to prevent further complications.

An HbA1c of 9.1% means your blood sugar has been consistently high and needs better control. Focus on a balanced diabetic diet (more vegetables, whole grains, and protein; less sugar, white rice, and fried foods), regular exercise like brisk walking for 30 minutes daily, and strict monitoring of blood glucose. Take your medicines exactly as prescribed and do not skip doses. It is important to consult your doctor soon, as your treatment plan or dosage may need adjustment to bring your levels into a safer range.
