Matching tattoos for couples

Can in a control type 1 diabetes to get a tattoo on your foot?
I'm 18 and have been diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes for 5 months. I exercise daily and my BG is in control. I'm turning 19 in a couple of weeks, my sisters and I would like to have matching tattoos on our feet (because it is easy to hide, if necessary, and skin does not stretch as much there). I was just wondering if any other diabetics have tattoo on their feet and if it has caused problems.
I am an RN and was a Diabetes Nurse Educator in a large local hospital. I'm always quite surprised at some of the issues doctor I came I taught nursing students for a number of years and your questions always kept me challenged much. The good news is that you have your brain working well for you, anticipate that this proposal tattoo can not be of interest to you (not), and have the intellectual courage and wisdom to ask the question before to act impulsively on his plane brother. First of all I want to commend you on your initial response (5 months) to manage their type 1 diabetes, but you are just starting its very long and challenging journey and the choices you make now will likely affect you and your health for the rest of your life. You do not say if you are under the care of a diabetologist, the last Hb A1-C was, what their specific levels of blood were, what type and dose of insulin you are taking, etc. This is particularly clear information of interest to me because of my history of diabetes education especially to teenagers just their age. In any event, any RN Diabatologist diabetes or with at least one neuron is still firing in your brain would tell you that the feet, ankles and calves are totally no man's land much as type1 diabetics go which means that they should never be touched by a Tattoo artist. I just could not approval of a tattoo for you in any place at this point because of the potential dangers of infection, etc. I am glad that you seem to have a great relationship with her sisters and wants to do something together to celebrate his 19th birthday. I'm all for it. It is possible for you and your sisters to do something together that relates to the exercise that I approve? What comes to mind is out for a few hours to play paint ball or maybe rent scooters or ATV's must be some activities that you all would if you put all your minds together. What about bowling followed by eating out. Consider the conduct of a nearby town and checked out at the mall to buy a song, followed by eating out at a of your favorite sites. These are just some ideas that some of the teenagers I worked with chose to do. Keep your daily exercise, it has a huge effect positive impact on their management of diabetes. I hope you have a wonderful 19th birthday and the control of diabetes is still in good shape. Good luck to you.
