Commonly seen in diabetics is reflex sympathetiic Dystrophy. How is her shoulder movement.
She needs proper supervised physio which includes mobilisation of DRUJ and radiocarpal joint.
The therapy isn't easy and requires a lot of effort. Whatever may be the current situation it needs to be resolved in the next 4 weeks otherwise it becomes even more difficult.
