You should be fine using baking soda for splinter removal. Make sure to clean the skin and apply antibiotic ointment and a bandaid after removing the splinter. Since you are diabetic, you might be more at risk for delayed healing and therefore infection. Monitor the area for signs of infections such as increased redness, swelling and tenderness.
