What Causes Ankle Swelling And Discomfort During Walking?

can I be allergic to insulin? The insulin I am taking is ballooning up my stomach to 48 inches. (I don t speak metric yet...) In addition, my ankles are swelling up as well, making walking uncomfortable. They swell up and down, but mostly they stay swollen.
