Swollen feet and legs.
Cushy (I looked like a cabbage patch doll) which, after I was off it, left my old, non elastic skin, with major wrinkles.
Glucose reading of over 400 (up from 85-95 normal).

I know @moldy I wear support hose and that really helps. Now I only wear them a few days a week. If I can get out for a walk, it helps the swelling. I know I sit too much for my circulation.
My highest sugar was 350, but I was in the hospital getting IV Solumedrol for asthma. The nurse would test me before each meal and give me insulin if needed. I used to, and still do, love Moose Tracks ice cream, but I just don't eat sweets anymore. Have you gotten any help in managing your glucose? 💞
