If you are insisting in eating cakes, etc your kidneys wud be in trouble and cause leg swellings.

High blood pressure wud cause swellings.

No free flow from and to heart due to thickness of blood loaded with sugar wud cause leg swells.

Poor blood circulation - damage is being done to the veins and they have small back flow preventers - when their shot your blood pools in the lower legs. Compression socks help and there are different strengths. I use a 20 and at the end of the day they're a pleasure to have them off.
