Diebetes can effect the peripheral nervous system including the autonomic systems that control proprioception (where you are in space) and autonomic functions (vascular tone etc).
I'm just speculating but although you have a good supply of blood to the feet certain conditions (heat) may cause an autonomic arterial/venous imbalance which will result in swelling.

Type 1 isn't to bad though, just make sure you check uour feet for foreign bodies/skin lesions etc before and after training and also make sure you give em a good wash after.

Type 2 is a bugger on the feet, it's not been officially analised but it's thought that the diabetic foot costs the NHS more £££ that any other condition. In advanced/uncontrolled states the neuropathic dysfunction causes mayhem with the biomechanics and your tootsies don't work the way they should. Your peripheral vascular system also goes to pot and this results in horrible ulcerations and amputation is very common.

It'll keep me in a job though :@) (training to be a Podiatrist).
