Hello,
I am sorry you cannot afford to go to the dr, but you should. Taking into account your personal history of type 2 diabetes, plus full body weight fall with painfully swollen hip bone; I'm sorry to say this is an emergency and you should check it out immediately.
Go to ER, you need xray of the hip bone, MRI and other tests.
It is very common to get complications from this fall in diabetics.
Wish fast recovery.
