Answers:
Diabetes can actually lead to swollen limbs. As Neuropathy can effect almost any part of the body and it is the term used by physicians to describe nerve damage. Causes of neuropathy are usually as a side effect of some prexisting disease or condition such as diabetes, shingles, or cancer and chemotherapy use. In cases of neuropathy, sensory as well as pain nerves can be effected. This means that the pain felt by neuropathy patients is unusual in that it will often be a burning sensation, or the feeling of having a "dead leg" from having your circulation cut off.

It can also a side effect of congestive heart failure. Heart problems and diabetes go hand and hand. If you don't get it seen then you can be opening your self up for an infection that could lead to gangrene. I am sure I don't have to remind you that a lot of diabetic patients end up with an amputation.
