Blisters in a diabetic

I am a diabetic female and recently while attending a social event, developed blisters on my feet because I was wearing tight shoes. Should I break them?

No, leave them alone. Since you are a diabetic, the best advice I can give is pay attention to your feet. Maintain good hygiene do not cut or do any thing that traumatizes your feet. Never ever go to a podiatrist because these professionals almost never check the pulses and start cutting-which eventually leads to amputations. For blisters that are intact, just wear comfortable shoes and leave them alone. For broken blisters, there is no need to apply any antibiotic, unless they are infected.
