The lymphatic system is still involved. I am not diabetic either. (Never was, certainly not now.) All I can say is that if he's had it 3 times in the same leg then the lymphatic system in that leg may be damaged, which makes it more likely to happen again. He should just keep an eye on it and jump on it early if needed.
