Does anyone know it were allowed to have back massages or is it a complete no no thanks in advance Sam
 
Yeah it's fine... Or at least I am lol I get the quite often, the salon you go to should give you a consultation card to fill in if you've not been before and you can write on you have diabetes so they are aware :)
 
Yep totally fine.

Please note that I'm not basing this on any medical knowledge, just on the fact that I've had lots of massages & they have never had any impact on my blood sugar! :)
 
Thank You I had a facial yesterday that involved a shoulder massage which she did and found lots of knots, at the end she mentioned about a back massage this sounds really tempting and they do know that I have diabetes
 
I find if I get a massage where I inject my insulin it does seem to give it a boost. Sometimes my husband will massage my love handles or hip where I put the insulin right after I inject and it seems to have a little more strength but I wouldn't think a back massage would do anything. I think he's just working the insulin in more and I don't think it would have any effect hours after I take it. He gives me a foot and leg massage ,any nights and it does nothing to my bs
