Not sure what treatment they will give you, but you've done the right thing getting the toe checked by your Dr, as diabetics we do have to be extra careful when it comes to our feet.

Agreed.
My doctor has told me that the reason they mention diabetics should avoid pedicures or treatment like this is because cuts and infections can go unnoticed due to neuropathy, thus causing it to get much much worse before its noticed.
Corns are caused by improperly fitting foot ware, so perhaps try switching up the shoes for a while, and due small bit of pumice stoning at home while being extra careful not to go to deep ?

One of the causes of corns is poorly fitting footwear, but it is far from the only cause.
My corn is caused by the way my foot locomotes when walking causing pressure at a certain point on the sole of my foot causing a corn. Footwear doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.

I had a corn a few months ago, in the middle of my foot. My surgery booked me in with a podiatrist, although it took three or four weeks to get the appointment. He was good though, sorted the corn out no problem. It's helpful to see a foot specialist sometimes anyway, while I was there he checked my feet for signs of neuropathy (all healthy at the moment 
), and gave me some general advice about keeping my feet in good condition.
