Toe is strained: Or sprained. Soaking ur foot in warm water with epsom salt and taking nsaids/ibuprofen may alleviate the swelling.Follow up with ur dr if it gets worse. Take care! http://www.Rd.Com/health/wellness/the-best-herbs-and-supplements-for-diabetes/.

Follow up with : A foot doctor. I would make sure you are wearing a surgical shoe. Mae sure no opening in the skin. Nsaids if allowed medically, and serial xrays to examine for stress fracture. Must be on guard for infection due to diabetic history.

I think so: If you still have significant pain after 2 wks, it's reasonable to have your doctor order a x-ray to make sure no fracture.
