Cut your own or Pedicures?

My doctor wants me to get a pedicure and stop cutting my toenails off too short. He says it will cause infections and since I am a diabetic I should have them done the proper way, either by a doctor or someone who will cut them so I wont have ingrown toenails or get an infection. Do you cut your own or get a pedicure?

I cut my own toenails. My sister has been trying to get me to go with her to get a pedicure for years now. I cannot stand it when people touch my feet. I could not sit through a whole pedicure.

I always cut my own toenails and must be doing a good job of it because I rarely have an ingrown toenail. I would like to get a pedicure sometime soon though. I have several friends who swear it is just the greatest thing. I think I will do that before sandal weather really kicks in.

I do cut mytoe nails and finger nails at home and I think your doctor is certainly right in this matter.Better not to cut your toe nails too deep to avoid infections.
