Swelling in the leg by evening that improves by morning can happen due to prolonged sitting or standing, poor circulation, or sometimes as a side effect of blood pressure medicines. Try to avoid sitting for long hours, keep your legs slightly elevated while resting, and reduce excess salt in your diet. Since you have diabetes and high blood pressure, it is important to consult your doctor to check the swelling and adjust medicines if needed.
