My spouse is a diabetic and she got up this morning and the top of her left foot is black, she says it does not hurt and she is not in pain. What can cause this? Yesterday it was not like this at all, her foot was normal, she says she has not twisted her foot nor hit it on anything or dropped anything on her foot.
