Bruises on : Knees from a fall, that heal and reappear on feet? Something sounds off, don't play games with diabetics and feet. Go visit a podiatrist get her assessed. Let them check her circulation and give you a diagnosis with regards to her feet. Many diabetics lose their feet due to improper care so get her checked out.

Not normal: She needs to see a doctor for evaluation unless she also hit her foot in the fall.
