Hi samthegas, welcome to the forum 🙂 Sorry to hear about your foot - you should go to your GP and ask to see a podiatrist as soon as you can so you can have them properly checked out. How did you come to be diagnosed? When did your foot start looking/feeling like this?
 
Welcome samthegas - and another vote for the see your GP approach. Diabetes can be associated with poor sensation, poor circulation etc, and it's quite possible that you have had type 2 diabetes for some considerable time before diagnosis. However, the good news is that effective treatment (any combination of diet / exercise / weight control / medication), resulting in good blood glucose control, can improve feet problems considerably.
