I am a diabetic and am wondering if I should allow my foot doctor to remove my
corns. Is this okay?
If you have diabetes, the last thing you want is for a foot doctor to muck
around with your feet. Never let anyone touch your feet if you are diabetic is
the best advice I can give you. If you have foot problems and are diabetic, see
a vascular surgeon first and let him determine if the blood supply to your feet
is okay. Otherwise, you can quickly end up having no toes and no feet. I have
been involved in countless malpractice cases against foot doctors who never
assessed the blood supply of diabetic patients-end result was amputation.
