thank you user for your query. Well since you are a diabetic so kindly let me know about the blood sugar fasting as well as post prandial level. Also get your HbA1c level also.For bruise you can take antibiotic amoxycillin or cephalosporin for 5 days to prevent secondary infection. Keep checking your toe so that it should not get injured often as diabetics have delayed healing capacity. Take an anti-inflammatory drug also as it reduces swelling and pain.
