As you have mentioned your mother has blood sugar issue, I would suggest first get her blood sugar parameters done like fasting blood glucose, 2 hour post pradinal blood glucose and hbA1c levels and then consult me privately here on practo or on my number 8895_9099_75
With my 2 years of experience in diabetes clinic I can suggest you to get these test and follow up with me on my number or on practo. Due to high blood sugar level, bacteria on the wound survive in that wound and the wound does not heal for a long time. If blood sugar levels are not adjusted at the earliest, this wound will increase definitely.
Next Steps
get her blood glucose test done as soon as possible and send me the reports personally I have a diabetes clinic for wound management in diabetes patients. I would love to help your mother.
