HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your mother your mother has history of diabetes and right now she is having sensation problem, so in my opinion this could be peripheral diabetic neuropahty, you have to first see the good physician who could handle the diabetic cases, then if needed can be seen to neurophysician, hope this information helps you have good day.
