What Causes Redness On The Foot Of A Diabetic Patient?

My 88 year old neighbor has sugar diabetes. She has had a red foot previously but as today has gone on, her foot has become much more so, expecially on bottom of foot on ball. Do I need to take her to the hospital tonight? She has stayed off of her feet all day.
