BGnR 18 and Diabetic, also an idiot. you serious or kidding? If serious, I hope you mean to say that IF she is 18 AND has diabetes that she shouldn't get piercings. She shouldn't. I read your post to mean she was an idiot for having DM at 18 y/o. if kidding, never mind.

I would not go as far as BigGuy and say an idiot. 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.

Oh, she'll get attention from all the boys, now that her nipple ring is pop riveted to her rib cage.
If she and her family knew she has diabetes, what the hell was she thinking? My mother and step-father both have diabetes, so I know the risks, and I would have never let my kid do that. Same if I knew my kid was a staph carrier (a friend of mine is, BTW, so I know about that too)

Tragic, unfortunate, and uncommon true, but much more common among diabetics than the general population. Many diabetics pay attention to the warnings of their doctors and do not even attempt these kind of cosmetic procedures. If more did attempt them, I suspect the occurrence level would be much higher. The infection itself is more common in the extremities, but the piercing created an open route for it to get into the tissue.
Like Racer X I have experience with diabetes through family. My grandmother went blind from the side effects and also suffered strokes which led to loss of brain function. She spent over a decade in nursing home care before passing away. My former mother-in-law died from the health problems connected with diabetes. She was in her late 60's. She was not able to wear pierced earrings, only clasp types, because of infection. So I can say it was a poor choice, but remembering some of the poor choices I made at 18, an understandable one and not pass any further judgement on it. |
