Hello, I use insulin and am lucky enough to have a Libre 2 device which means that I have a round sensor on my upper arm. The problem is that it is now obvious that I am diabetic and now I cannot get a decent massage because they have been taught at college that diabetics "bruise easily" so today I spent £20 have my head lightly stroked - it worked out at £1 a minute. I have had "head in the clouds" massage before (without admitting I am a diabetic) so I know what it should be.
I am so disappointed, this was a treat that I was really looking forward to (oh dear bad grammar there.)
I do not bruise after a massage and I have had deep tissue massage in the past.
Has anyone else found this problem? How can I get round it?
What percentage of diabetics get a bruising problem from massage anyway?
