Treatment of corns for diabetic people?

jennyjane · Sep 17, 2020

I understand that one must not use conventional corn treatment if one is diabetic - what does one do therefore? Any advice on treatments for same would be very helpful - I have a small corn underneath on one of my small toes. I am type 2 diabetic.

The advice assumes that we are all out of control and going to be in grave danger from the small injury of corn removal.
Having had several nasty bites on my lower legs from the local flies, when I was stranded outdoors at dusk just over a week ago, I can attest that normal healing is possible - though perhaps consult your GP surgery to see if they have any suggestions as there might be a local option for personal treatment.
There is a high number of elderly people in care homes in this area and there was a travelling foot specialist available when I worked at one though it was some time ago. The need must still be there.

Compeed corn plasters are great. No ointment, just a thick plaster with a dimple to put over the corn and leave it. They stay on several days and then replace. Perfect for T2
