I could see why people would say no (Takes longer for diabetics to heal - could lead to an infection)

Honestly though, if your diabetes is in good control I dont see why not. You could always call your Endo for their opinion too, yknow? :333

I have my ears pierced. I don't think it really matters unless it's a piercing in an area that can be prone to getting an infection, like a tongue piercing. Food and other bacteria get in a tongue piercing pretty easy and can cause an infection.
If it's like a simple ear piercing you should probably be fine.

Me too. Plus they make you talk funny.
I'm not really big into piercings besides just my ear lobes, but I don't mind it if other people get piercings, seeing as it's their life not mine. 3nodding

As said above, it could take longer for the wound to heal, but it depends where it is. However, if your diabetes is well-controlled then there should not be a massive problem. Just be aware of infection a bit more, and if you think it might be, try an antibacterial cream like neosporin or see your doctor!

DO IT! Don't let your diabetes be an excuse...

I personally have my ears done (and in the process of gauging them), an industrial, right side of my lip, and tongue pierced. I had bites at one time, my nose, and a surface piercing in my neck! I also have two tattoos, one of them is actually a medical alert thing on my wrist! As long as you take care of them like everyone else, you should be just fine!
