One on each foot. They hurt from time to time which is good. Is there anything I can do to keep from amputation. They are just dry callouses not open lesions

I am diabetic too. keep a good cream on them. keep them dry put cream on them and at night when you put cream on them place a sock on them and leave it alone. I put a heavy cream on mine at first and the callouses went away try it and see. also keep the cream on it everyday.

Make an appointment with a podiatrist. They are knowledgeable about diabetic foot care.
Yes, it is good that you have sensation. If anyone gives you an answer that suggests you soak or treat the calluses and remove them yourself, ignore that. I believe you already know the potential hazards of foot injury even though you're prediabetic. Don't take any chances.

As a physician I do not even know what prediabetic is. I would not worry about the condition you are describing leading to gangrene, though. Find out what a prediabetic is.

Try and stay off your feet for a month or two.
