Could be PAD: Diabetics often have issues with their feet and being on methylcobalamin is good if your mom suffers from a diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain). Diabetics are also notorious for having advanced peripheral arterial disease, and painful, burning feet that are turning blue sounds like severe ischemic rest pain to me. This can lead to major amputation! take her to see a vascular surgeon right away!
