idk im pretty sure no but i no diabetes shouldnt let there feet get hurt
im diabetic and have never heard of anything about that..
i dont think so why????????
Thickened toenails are slightly more common in diabetics as toenail fungus is slightly more common in diabetics.





Thick toenails can be caused by many things, including psoriasis, fungus, chronic infection, chronic micro-trauma (from shoes or the underlying bone) etc.





Being diabetic puts you at a slightly increased risk for thickened toenails, but it would be hard to blame it solely on diabetes.
