Bloated? 10 questions you should ask yourself...

Are you diabetic?

If you're diabetic you should seek medical advice about fluid retention, which could be a sign of the kidney condition Nephrotic Syndrome (a complication of diabetes). This causes the kidney filter to break down, allowing protein to leak into the urine and fluid to be retained by the body. Untreated, it can cause high blood pressure and cholesterol, and blood clots.
