Hello,
Diabetic people are always at a risk of infection. Blisters on hand is also a type of skin infection.
I will suggest your husband to wash hands with good antiseptic solution regularly and apply soframycine cream when blisters appears on hand.
Check blood sugar regularly and continue antidiabetic medications. Take meal at fix time in a day so that blood sugar will be at normal range.
