you need to talk to a diabetologist,get the sugar levels under optimal limits for tooth extraction and later allow for the complete healing of the extraction site.
After this consult a prosthodontist and get the new denture fabricated.

Hi,
If the teeth is infected, that itself could increase the sugar level. You can get her admitted under a good a diabetologist, get the diabetes under control, get the extraction done and keep her under observation. Once diabetes under control post extraction you take her back home. This could be done under hospital facility with a good dentist.

First diabetes should be controlled before removal of teeth then only extraction should be planned under antibiotic coverage
