Diabetic with neuropathy: Edema

My sister is experiencing excess Edema in both feet and ankles. It can occur with neuropathy but now both feet are puffy🥺 She's read to elevate feet above heart level but any other ideas how to minimize edema?
She has a low salt diet already.

Weight loss if she is overweight. More exercise if she doesn't do much. Avoid tight clothing. And of course if she is already on some medication for other conditions get the doctor to check if they might be exacerbating it and perhaps change to different drugs. At least that seems to be what the NHS in the UK says.
