Need foot exam: You may be suffering from improper shoe wear which can be exquisitely dangerous in a diabetic. I am assuming by seeing a blood clot, you mean a scab or blood blister. You should certainly have a foot exam to make sure you are getting appropriate blood supply to those toes and make sure your shoes are not causing damage. Get checked out to avoid eventual amputation. Also keep close eye on sugars.

CHECK: Being diabetic it is very important that both the circulation and peripheral nerve status of your feet be checked. Also make sure that your footwear fits well and is proper for walking distances. The same applies to socks and it's a good idea to wear white ones when out walking.
