Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

The history you have given shows that she may be suffering from neuropathy. Diabetic peripheral Neuropathy is an important quality of life issue for half of all people with diabetes.

The first treatment step is to bring blood glucose levels within the normal range to help prevent further nerve damage. Blood glucose monitoring, meal planning, physical activity, and diabetes medicines or insulin will help control blood glucose levels.
Better to consult a local podiatrist for complete examination further management.

Hope this guides you. Thank you.
