Excessive day-time sleepiness and foot swelling

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Thank you for writing to us.

It seems that you have diabetes with kidney failure. Kidney failure when getting severe will lead to swelling in the legs and the toxins from the kidneys can cause sleepiness.

I recommend that you start taking dialysis to help you clear the fluid and the toxins in the body. This should help you with the cure.

See your Doctor as soon as possible.
