Does anyone know if diabetics can use this?

From their website (I've also heard them say this same thing onair):
"I have diabetes; can I use the Micro-Pedi?Do not use if you have diabetes or poor blood circulation. If you have any skin conditions or other medical issues please consult with your physician prior to use."

Thanks HD, how r u ? I wasn't sure and I have a few people on my list that do have diabetes but would love this. Oh well have to put on my thinking cap. Thanks again.

Oops. I have type 2 diabetes and have been using the Emjoi for about 3 years. I wouldn't advise someone else whether to use it or not. I do have mild neuropathy in my feet so I am always careful and very observant - haven't had any problems yet. And yes, it *really* works!

Hi! Just an fyi/tip. I am a an RN & I'm married to a cardiologist.
I would recommend buying it, & bring it to your physician or the diabetic Nurse in the office.My DH tells all his pts who buy & use home BP monitors to bring it to his office,they check out how accurate it is:for example. I know how important foot skin care is & that would be the best way for you to know,IMO.
MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR RECEIPT for it,just in case they say no😀

I completely agree with this. I was going to say lots of diabetics have foot care specialists and bring it to them is a good idea.

Always check with your doctor but I don't think you will have any problems with it. If you press the roller to hard it stops. I don't think there is any way to cut your heels/feet with this. It does really work. I love it. I use Beekman hand salve on my feet after using it.

I have my nails cut and my calluses filed down at the podiatrist's office. She is a nail tach - not a nurse - and she uses a dremmel tool to file the nails and calluses. Take it with you to the podiatrist and ask them if it is ok to use.
