Hi,
Your doctor correctly advised for check up of diabetes seeing few signs of doubtful of this disease, as with diabetes there are all chances of delayed healing and risk of having gangrene is there.
Now nothing to worry, with a course of antibiotic and proper dressing you will be alright.
Ok and take care.
