[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 286158, member: 13451"] I can fully understand Clare's viewpoint. My understanding is that healing problems with diabetics are generally associated with poor blood glucose control. Of course everyone is at risk of infection if they don't follow a strict cleanliness routine after piercings, even non-diabetics would be at risk in these circumstances. Jess has very good control and I feel if she's going to have her ears pierced then now is the best time. She'll be 11 in a few weeks, it's best to have them done during the summer holidays and I feel it's better to have it done now whilst she has very good glucose control rather than in a couple of years when hormones may start messing with that good control. She has been asking since last year but I said at the time that perhaps when she finishes at primary school which is in the next few weeks. Jopar, just seen your reply. I will of course check with her DSN and consultant, her control has been very stable since going on the pump so hopefully they will feel she will be okay having it done. [/QUOTE]
