Can I Use Botox if I Have Diabetes?

I am a diabetes patient for the past five years and experiencing chronic foot pain associated with it. I recently read in an article that Botox injections are an effective and safe method of relieving diabetic neuropathic pain in the feet. I wish to get it from any nearby clinic like the med-aesthetics in Brampton. But I am really confused to take the treatment. Will it be effective? Will it be beneficial for patients like me who are diabetic?

Hi justin4556 I have type 2 diabetes about 5 years a go I had my left arm amputated but I was having a lot of pain in my stump so my pain specialist put me on a month off botox injections it help a little so yes u can have botox injections if u have diabetes but make sure u talk it though with the pain specialist. Best of luck and I hope everything goes alright
