1. Change footwear - use a soft sole footwear such as MCR, or Crocs
2. Do not walk bare footed at any time. Use 2 pairs of footwear for home and outside
3. If the pain is severe, an abscess formation has to be ruled out. Since you are a diabetic, foot care is all the more important
4. Keep your foot clean. See the lower side of both your feet with a mirror everyday once after taking bath to notice small ulcers
5. You might need a small surgery for removal of the corn , antibiotics and pain medications. Kindly consult a Plastic surgeon.
6. Keep Diabetes in control
