Neosporin DOES NOT make you a diabetic. Diabetes is a disease A: your pancreas does not make insulin(type 1) or B: your cells are resistant to insulin (type 2). Diabetics have a slower wound healing time and have a greater chance for infection. Neosporin, however, is totally unrelated

Oh my goodness no, Neosporin is actually good for diabetics with small cuts. I am a diabetic and started using Neosporin because it works so well.

That is not at all true. And why are diabetics not supposed to use Neosporin? I've never heard of that.

Don't know who told you that,but that's false. I'm diabetic and I never heard of that. Somebody needs to get their facts straight.

This is all nonsense. It is a fine topical antibiotic especially for diabetics to prevent infection.

i doubt very seriously it would make you a diabetic. The whole world would be diabetic if that was the case.
