Are Bruises A Symptom Of Diabetes?

Between my knees & ankles looks like a huge bruise and a little swollen on my shins and calves. The bottoms of my feet stay bright red ALL the time & I have purple knees. My wife thinks it could be sugar related. Diabetes run in my family. But my legs or feet don t hurt. Can you help me out ?
