Hello, Thanks for the query. Foot or toe infection in a diabetic person is definitely a cause for concern. Mainly due to affection to peripheral blood vessels and neuropathy. Healing of wounds is invariably a problem.Therefore, first thing is had strict blood glucose control with FBG <100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c%<6.8.  Since you are already on pregabalin, means there is neuropathy, therefore you need to see a diabetic foot specialist early. Thanks.
