Does anyone know if there's a relationship between blood sugar and water retention?

Absolutely! High insulin levels cause water retention, along with everything else. My leg swelling improved dramatically when I went low carb.
It's also important to have calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vit. D in proper balance to counter act sodium, and it can be tricky to find the balance your body likes best.
