See MD: Rhinitis may be due to allergies or infection. Anosmia suggests a more serous problem they needs md attention to examine and run tests if indicated.

It may be polyps.: Nasal polyps is common cause for anosmia in patients with rhinitis. Especially if she has had chronic rhinitia and only anosmia started 4 months ago. A short course of steroids (can affect diabetes control) or ENT injected steroids can give temporary relief. Nasal steroid sprays with help them shrink. I have found fulnisolide (it stings a little) to work better than most. Have her see her doctor.
