L-Arginine is a naturally occuring amino acid, available without prescription in many health food stores. It is a precursor to the production of nitrous oxide, which acts to widen and dilate tiny blood vessels. It is also helpful in diabetic neuropathy and in maintaining an adult male erection. It comes in flavors and without flavoring, tastes like raw meat. Don't buy the capsules. You need to take at lerast one to two grams with water, preferably on an empty stomach. You may have to take this dose three times a day. There are no contraindications.
It could be diabetes, however she needs a consult with a hematologist who will look at her blood cells under a microscope. Ocasionally there are disorders that cause deformed blood cells that are larger than normal and they cause pain when going through the microcirculation in the fingertips. Meanwhile try L. Aginine, a grams every six hours. This tends to open up the little blood vessels.

She should examine her feet each day for unnoticed injuries (foot injuries are often not noticed by diabetics, and because of poor circulation in the extremities even a minor injury can become a big deal).
