Hi there.
This is most probably an episode of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) which is quite common in diabetics.
Firstly please consult your GP and ask for a colour doppler of the leg .
Start on a n anti inflammatory and analgesic like Etoricoxib.
Start a blood thinner like Ecosprin.
Calf pumping exercises 3 to 4 times daily .
Venous stockings are to be worn at all times.
Kindly get the report evaluated and proceed accordingly.
I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
