Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a person that has diabetes ? Thanks > Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a > person that has diabetes ? > Thanks Yeah, it makes them unattractive. ;-P Susan (sorry, I couldn't resist) > Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a > person that has diabetes ? > Thanks It has one negative effect if you don't know how to deal with it. The modern tattoo inks can often cause serious hypos [even in non-diabetics], so be sure that your bg is in the 108 to 120 range immediately before you start, and 15 gms of carb will help. One high number won't damage you, but one severe hypo might. Don't drive for at least an hour-and-half after the tattoo is finished. I am a t1 with "lots" of tattoos, about 22% of me is done, and I fully intend to keep going up to 90% or thereabouts. >> Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a >> person that has diabetes ? >> Thanks >> > It has one negative effect if you don't know how to deal with it.

That's the "why" I do not know. That's the "how" I do not know, only that it is the case, because it has happened to me -- ONCE. That's the "what" > Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a > person that has diabetes ? > Thanks I sure hope not. Ricavito I've got two... one put on after my diagnosis. No problem with healing or anything. Jennifer > Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a > person that has diabetes ? > Thanks I believe that the chance for infection of the tattooed area is greater for a diabetic. It wouldnt be worth the risk for me, besides I am too old for that. lol Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. > Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a > person that has diabetes ? > Thanks I got one on my lower leg about 11 years ago, when I was NOT checking my BG, not watching what I ate and was still on two basic shots a day (N/R am, N pm). I healed quickly, no problems.  SignatureLiz Type 1 dx 4/1987 MM Paradigm 5/2005 > Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a > person that has diabetes ? > Thanks Tattoos are said to flouresce with low bgs. Don't know how much so but a medical team in Scotland are working on developing "diabetic tattoos" that would alert a dmer to hypos, useful if they had lost there early warnings.. Also some daibetics have had or thought about having a tattoo as an indication of their diabetes. But waht would such a tattoo show and where would it be ? x-no-archive: yes >> Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a >> person that has diabetes ? >> Thanks There is also a question-and-answer session on this site, which warns you to keep away from areas of poor ciculation and that at least 50% of those with tattoos regret having them. http://www.diabeteshealth.com/read,1022,1788.html > x-no-archive: yes >>> Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >and that at least 50% of those with tattoos regret having them. >http://www.diabeteshealth.com/read,1022,1788.html Wonder why, when sometimes they look like a freak show. Look at those motorcycle guys on the Discovery Channel. Their whole body is one big tattoo. Just a big circus. >> x-no-archive: yes >>>> Does anyone know if getting a tattoo has any negative effect on a [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >motorcycle guys on the Discovery Channel.

I had a friend who always maintained that you could tell one thing about a person with a tattoo -- he/she had been really drunk at least once in their life. where is aerosmith.

I especially like the song Stuck in Lodi, since I live here and can really relate. Lodi is also known as a terrorist hideout as of late. :-) -- Cheri Hi_Therre wrote in message ... >>where is aerosmith. I am sure you have my drift by now >> >>Loretta > >CCR is a far better group.

Always loved CCR! Lodi is also known as a terrorist > hideout as of late. :-) And just a little too close to home (Fresno) for my liking! Can't imagine how you feel about that. ~Lindy~ Type 1 since 1960, pumping since 1997 I'm really not surprised Lindy. We have a whole lot of Detective Webers' in this town. The crime rate is soaring, and the authorities are hiding at four way stops, making sure everyone is adhering to the five second complete stop rule, or throwing up seat belt checkpoints. :-) -- Cheri Lindy wrote in message ...Speaking of the terrorist ring in Lodi. >And just a little too close to home (Fresno) for my liking!

Lodi is also known as a terrorist >hideout as of late. :-) Lodi comes to mind on the original tv series Startrek back in the 60s. Remember the show with the two characters from the planet Lodi. Frank Gorshem played two roles where he had his face painted dark on one side and white on the other side. Each character role was the opposite of the other. Having white on one side (left or right side of the face) meant that that person was superior to the person with white on the other side of the face. The show replicated a lot of our racial bullshit today. Bruce, I didnt get what you were writing till I read Cheris response. Credence Clearwater Revival versus Aerosmith. :-) Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. >Bruce, I didnt get what you were writing till I read Cheris response. >Credence Clearwater Revival versus Aerosmith. >:-) Remember Susie Q, Proud mary, Put a Spell on You, Bad Moon Rising. Awsome songs. Were there ever better songs to dance to? Especially Bad Moon Rising :-) -- Cheri Hi_Therre wrote in message ... >>Bruce, I didnt get what you were writing till I read Cheris response. >>Credence Clearwater Revival versus Aerosmith. >>:-) >> >Remember Susie Q, Proud mary, Put a Spell on You, Bad Moon Rising. >Awsome songs. > Were there ever better songs to dance to?

I saw him live a few years ago, with a decent band that played and sounded like the old CCR... He is also writing some new stuff. They dropped from public view years ago, when they lost their copyrights to the old music, and then there were lawsuits and threats of litigation that jammed up the Fogerty brothers for some time. I think Tom Fogerty is now deceased. I recently got a new CD called "Credence Clearwater Revival Chronicle", which features their 20 greatest hits, including the ones mentioned above.... Some of the best cuts on there are 'I Put a Spell on You', 'Proud Mary', 'Who'll Stop the Rain', and 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine'. Then there are songs like 'Run Through the Jungle' and 'Lookin Out My Back Door'..... Hope you are all well and happy today!

At least, that's what my FIL thought it was. :-D Susan > You forgot the best: "There's a Bathroom on the Right." > > At least, that's what my FIL thought it was. :-D I know, I know.... Uh, Susan, the real name of the song was "Bad Moon Rising" ;-) That's on my new CD, also.... I'll admit that the way he sang the words, "Bad moon on the rise" did sound a bit like "bathroom on the right" :-) Hope you are having a good day today! Will, T2 LOL, that's funny. :-) -- Cheri >x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Susan >Were there ever better songs to dance to? Especially Bad Moon Rising :-) What??????????? All music of the late 60s and 70s were easy to dance to. Does Disco ring a bell? I didn't say easier, I said better. :-) -- Cheri Hi_Therre wrote in message ... >>Were there ever better songs to dance to? Especially Bad Moon Rising :-) > >What???????????
