All tests under the sun to ascertain kidney function is done.all are normal.

If BS levels are normal then I think one possibility could be combined side effect of drugs.

In case of some drugs interactions with each other are not fully known.

One more possibility could be severe vit. D deficiency.

No vit D difficiency.But first part of your observation ,it appears to be correct.Thanx.

Conduct kidney function tests. Diabetic nephropathy is suspected.

Consult a Nephrologist.

Drink lots of pure water, check kidney function and take medicine on Doctor's advise if necessary.

Thanx for good wishes.You are right that both leg /foot swelling and puffiness of face is due to retention of fluid.I have a good guess about the cause.
