It would be best to have it assessed by your doctor since you are diabetic with a history of cellulitis.
Though the area may not be infected,diabetics are at risk of infection and also poor healing. Early treatment for any infection improves the chance of resolution.
The darkness of the blood may just mean that it is old blood.
I hope this helps
