RB,
take good care of that toe, being diabetic I know how important and urgent a wound on the foot can be. I had an uncle that lost both legs to diabetes, the first leg was from a wound on foot, he had a nail in his shoe but could not feel the point of the nail and keep wearing the shoes for quite awhile before he noticed the wound.
I not sure this will make you feel much better, but the youth will be older and sick someday and then they will understand even if they think they are invincible now.
So far my feet are in fair condition, they get dry and crack once in awhile, tried a lot of stuff on my feet to keep them from getting dry and rough but they only stuff I get results from are shay butter(too greasy) and just recently found Gold Bond ultimate lotion for diabetics works great. Most people do not realize how important foot health is to a diabetic after all it is your foundation that supports everything else.
