first off, i hope its okay to post this here as i dont know where else to post this at. i have type 2 diabetes, but it is under control. my a1c level is 5.6. would it be okay to get a piercing or would it be a bad idea?
second, i was wanting to get anotehr piercing, but not sure what would look good with what i have. so far i only have two lobe piercings which i usually only wear one, and i have an industrial piercing in my right ear, thats it.. i had a rook but it didnt heal right and i ended uptaking it out. i was thinking about getting a regular cartilage piercing on my left ear, but not sure if it would look good or not. any opinions?
This is really a question even beyond your GP, and probably more one for your endocrinologist. Your GP will almost certainly say no.
Whether it looks good is a matter of aesthetics. As for the rest:
How long has your diabetes been under control?
Do you have a history of infections?
I wouldn’t recommend a person with diabetes who had an infection in a similar area in the past getting into a similar situation purely from a medical POV, but I’m just a lowly NP. I would ask a doctor whose specialty is diabetes.
