Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query. I hope this will helpful mother is having HEART FAILURE. Diabetes Is a very important risk factor for developing heart failure. Your doctor would certainly have had her ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY to say that her heart is working only 10% and when it is working less than 30% HEART TRANSPLANT is the definite treatment. But Chat Doctor. . I will advise you to take her to a CARDIOLOGIST, have all of her necessary investigations done in time, and she should be started on HEART FAILURE MEDICATIONS...Meanwhile good diabetic control is necessary along with salt restriction. I hope this was beneficial for regards
