Edema
FWIW, I had edema pretty bad in my feet & legs below the knee. The diuretics didn't do much to help. I found through trial & error that there is a connection to sugar, even though all tests for diabetes are negative. Cutting sugar out entirely, the edema is at least 75% improved within a few days. If I get into sugar, my feet blow up like hovercraft. Since figuring this out, I've been sugar free and able to get my shoes on again. I'm missing the sweets, but not the edema and increased pain.
