But many types of piercings and a number of other cosmetic types of body mods are not recommended for diabetics because of healing and infection problems. Basically a poor choice to make for a person with a history of diabetes with an unfortunate but possible outcome from an optional procedure.
Well said.
I'm curious as to whether or not she knew this when she got the piercings, and if the place doing them issued some kind of advisory, similar to people getting LASIK surgery or the like.
According to the article the tragic results are extremely rare. She probably stood more chance being killed by a drunk driver or injured in a car collision, whether or not she was a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, and whether or not she was diabetic.
In any event, it's still tragic. If I were inclined to nominate for Darwin awards, this would not be such an occasion.
