I dislike cruelty to children and animals and all living creatures. Also, I dislike bullies, extreme modern art and architecture, supermarket and shop music that is unmelodic
I have a corn on one of my toes and I believe it is advisable not to use a corn plaster being type 2 diabetic. Could anyone give me some advice on how to remove it safely? Thanks.
 
Hi,

I can't help regarding the corn.
I've never been advised to not use a plaster. Keeping wounds clean is certainly advisable.
Some folk do have an allergic reaction to plasters regardless of diabetes.

I feel if the adhesive wasn't advisable for diabetics, we wouldn't have sensors recommended for monitoring BG?

In the case of a corn, it maybe advisable to see a specialist in that field before contemplating tackling it yourself.

Best wishes.
 
I went private to get mine done and it really was worth it.... had two next to each other on the side of my right foot just along from my little toe. Not had any trouble at all since then, 3 odd years. Blessed relief.

A corn plaster is a medicated plaster to remove corns, so it's not about the adhesive


I'd make an appointment with a podiatrist for your corn.
