Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. It would have been better if you had mentioned actual blood glucose valiues like fasting, PP & HbA1c%, BP readings and lipid profile. Because by saying "under control" it is difficult to know what is the situation. From your details it appears to be a problem related to excess weight as with a BMI of 38.2 kgs /M2 you are closer to be morbidly obese. Swelling of lower limbs and other related issues are all linked to it. Thanks.
