Diagnosis and Symptoms

During a trip, my friend and training partner noticed his feet swollen during his stay. The condition has become worse and he has been off work for five months. As far as i know he has had all tests that can be given and he has been given steroid injections all to no avail. It is constantly painful, and he cannot even do gentle swimming. Can anyone please give any further advice?

Can you help me figure out what type of diabetes I have? I am thin, have slightly elevated blood sugars and have found that insulin resistance drugs make my blood sugars go up, not down.
