What Does Swelling On The Face And Body Indicate?

Hi I have been swollen for the past 3 weeks. Everything from my chest down and my face are swollen. I have type one diabetes and my sugars weren’t the best for a little but they’re amazing now. My kidneys and liver are good. No infection or virus. What could be causing this?
