If you have diabetes and you get a wound on your food or anywhere for that matter, you must take greater care than non-diabetic folks. The reason for greater care is because of the risk of infection.
Any wound may get infected because the bacteria will live off the high sugar levels in you blood. That's why doctors are concerned about diabetics with wounds and foot problems because it's harder to fix or cure. If you have a wound that does not heal rather quickly or normally, then it's time to visit your doctor and get it looked at. You doctor has much more resources available to help you than you would have.
Usually, most wounds will heal on their own within a few days or a week. However, there are times when they will not heal quickly and will get infected. That's when it's serious and you need medical attention.
Use and do what you normally would do for a cut or a wound. Just protect it better and watch it more for signs of infection. If it heals, then no problem. If it does not heal then consider going to your doctor. If it does not heal after a week or two, go to your doctor or if it gets infected.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

All of the answers you've already received are great and I would suggest the same. You must take care of any cut/wound and if it's a large one, go to your dr. right away. Infection can cause major problems for a diabetic. Also, make sure you are taking some kind of vitamin supplement for your diabetes. It's important to stay healthy. Check out my website and learn about a great product that helps any health condition. My husband is a diabetic and this product has helped him a whole lot.

Prevention is your best bet. Keep your feet clean. Wear good shoes and socks. Avoid sandals and open toes. Inspect your feet every day. Visit a podiatrist as advised by your health care provider. Avoid treatments such as soaks that are contraindicated for people with diabetes. Wounds need to be evaluated and treated by professionals.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Monitor your blood sugars and keep them in the normal range for your diabetes; and eat healthily and the normal carbohydrate count given you by the dietician. Use your medications/insulins and let your doctor know what your sugars are doing. You may need sliding scale insulin control until the blood is within normal range.
Normal saline soaks are unobtrusive but it is always best to talk to your nurse if healing is not occuring.
