Question

Swollen feet

Asked for Female, 64 Years

My mothers both feet are swollen. She has been a diabetic for several years. And has diabetic neuropathy. There was a cut on one of her fingers which didn't heal. And now theres clear liquid coming out of it. And she's worried that it might turn to gangrin. How to recognize gangrin? And do diabetologists look after feet or are there different doctors for that? Is it because of neuropathy? How to check nerves in her feet. I'll be taking her to hospital tomorrow.
