Hello, As your mother is diabetic and has the pain of food I will advise to first control the blood sugar levels by medical prescription provided by the planetologist.  Along with thing start doing exercises as it will help reduce the blood sugar levels, improve Muscle strength, improve metabolism and reduce weight as well.  For the pain in foot, use the hot water tub to dip the feet and then try picking up the marbles from the water with the help of fingers of the foot.  This will help to improve muscle strength and also reduce pain. In my clinical practice of 12 years, most diabetic cases with foot pain are taken with utmost interest as reduced metabolism due to Diabetes can lead to fatigue and weakness of the muscles.
