In fact, while we are on the subject, lets not forget to mention that we should also avoid filing calluses, trimming toenails, waxing legs and wearing socks with seams. Dont even get me started on the subject of contact lenses...

Ohh yes, we are sick, SICK I tell you, and we should live in fear that the everyday thing we do may result in heinous consequences, loss of life or indeed, limb. So next time you pick up a kitchen knife to chop some salad, consider the possible consequences. You could cut yourself, a minor injury, which you may well not even feel (due to lack of sensation, neuropathy), let alone see (cos you are blind, retinopathy), which then becomes hideously infected due to the inherent poor healing of all diabetics. Dont you think it would be wiser to buy pre-shredded lettuce leaves and save yourself the possible suffering? In fact, I'm quite suprised kitchen utensils do not yet come with a warning about the possible dangers to people with diabetes.

In short, while I can of course not comment on your own health, I would use the wart freezer stuff and not loose too much sleep .

Couldn't have said it better if I tried! Reminds me of the CDE who almost fell off of her chair when I told her that I actually WALK BAREFOOT in my own house. Apparently this foolishness can causes toes to fall off at will.
