What Causes Blisters On Both Feet And Heel Inpite Of Being Diabetic?

My husband is 66 years old. He recently found out he has diabetes. He also had 2 blockages in his left leg that were surgically removed. He's been getting blisters on both feet,one on the heel has black areas but is slowly healing. He went for a short walk yesterday and today he has another blister. He wears flip flops. What can we do to prevent more blisters?
