Hello, Thanks for the query. In growing toe nail can be a very painful condition. Home remedies may be able to give very temporary relief. But most often ir needs to be removed by surgeon or in an ER. Because any injury to toes, other parts of the foot are dangerous in a diabetic person. You may try the home remedies but it necessary to get it attended by surgeon who has been doing these (toe nail removing) procedures regularly. Do not try to cut the deeper parts at home. Pain, infection and swelling can be really bad. Plus complications associated. In addition having a good blood glucose control is equally important. Thanks.
