Dear Sir,
My gut feeling is that her sugars will be slightly elevated. I have to add that this statement holds true in a long term diabetic. Anyways kindly check her sugars immediately for corrective action. High sugars can present as pain in the foot.
Depending on sugars you can plan the next step with your diabetologist.
Hope i have answered your query
