Tattoo and diabetes

Recently asked me a question on our site, I thought that deserves a long reply.

J.C. Buffalo, NY asks: "I have diabetes and take insulin. Is there any reason you need to worry about getting a tattoo? "

Therefore, j. c., do you think about getting a tattoo, but you have diabetes. This is a good idea? And also, in most cases not a problem. But there are some things that you must be thinking before, during and after the process of inking.

My 18 years of practice walking I thought I saw everything, but one day he called emergency consultations section. And patients with diabetes 45, decided to get a tattoo on the upper part of his leg. She thinks nothing of it at this time. An embodiment of her late cat that she loves him very much. About 3 days after the application has begun to develop some redness around the object. Follow the instructions, but complicate the redness. It will apply more ointment, but now they can see redness spreading beyond the tattoo. Consultation with his tattoo artist who intuitively they advocate doctor who sent immediately for emergency aid.



Tattoo for all practical purposes deliberate injury. I got this injury because the young are in circulation of 80 years, neuroses, and she saw no pain. He was at the top of his leg. This leads to a movement becomes worse, leading to gangrini of the fingers. Finally he lost half a leg. I was able to save the remaining legs cleaning infected soft tissue, bone, and use the latest high-tech products and processes in healing the wound.

Let's discuss a little about diabetes first. Diabetes is a leading cause of amputations painful foot and leg is in the United States, approximately 14-24% of diabetes who develop sore feet and go to amputation. However, research has shown that the painful leg of development.



People with diabetes develop sore feet or injury. Native Americans, Blacks and Hispanics, older men are likely to develop ulcers. People who use insulin, which are more prone to develop painful legs, like kidney patients with diabetes and the eyes and heart disease. As Qantas, alcohol and tobacco use also play.

Complications of diabetes set due to a combination of factors, such as uncertainty and low circulation and foot malformations, irritation (such as friction or pressure) and trauma, as well as by duration of diabetes. Can patients with diabetes for many years, has not been completed or neuroses reduced feeling in the legs and feet nerve damage caused by high levels of sugar in the blood over time. Nerve occur frequently without pain and one may not be familiar with this problem. "

Cardiovascular diseases can have tattoo healing, limit the ability of healing the body and to increase the risk of infection. Elevations in blood sugar reduces the body's ability to fight potential infection and this slows down the process of healing. "



Get infected most tattoo; However, if your doctor diagnoses infection, treatment of antibiotics, wound care and perhaps the hospital, it will be necessary.

Necessary.

There are several important factors for maintaining a tattoo of the infection:

Maintain levels of blood sugar carefully

Keep a tattoo clean wemdamdh.

Purging tattooing daily use or bandage wounds.

Science for the care of the wound has evolved considerably over the past 10 years. Old "air access is now known to be safe. We know that healing wounds, including tattoo woalkrhah faster, with less risk if moist and cover. Use betadine meta and swirling textures and wemghts is not recommended because this can lead to further complications.



Wound management includes using appropriate dressing and treatment of applied locally. These vary from physiological to complex products to be extremely effective in treating problem tattoo.

The tattoo to heal should be sufficient circulation of signatories. Specialised trade (vascular surgery) or bodiatrist determine the levels of circulation in the legs and feet with noninvasive tests.

The time depends on many factors, such as the size of the tattoo's Web site, click the area of walking or standing, swelling, circulation and blood sugar levels and wound care and applied to the wound. Recovery may occur within weeks or months required.

Key recovery following ensure successful tattoo "gold standard" of care:

Reduced Glycemic treat any infection

Reduction of friction and pressure

Restore adequate blood flow

The old saying "ounce of prevention is the treatment" does not believe it when preventing diabetes complications of tattooing.
