Anyone gone to do waxing and when they fill inthe form are a diabetic??? Where would you draw the line. Would you wax a person with diabetis that is controlled by diet only, and refuse to wax someone who is insulin dependant?

Before a client books an appointment I always ask re contra-indications and if they have any I always require a doctors note. Sorry but just keeping myself safe.....
I do know of therapists who are happy to carry out this on diabetics but you never know it only takes one time......
Thank you Kadie, I get so P**sed of with my husbands, mum, dads, and foster brothers condition being the reason to treat them as if they are lepers.my mum is diabetic and the only real thing you need to worry about is their inability to heal quickly and loss of sensation. you shouldn't burn them anyway because you should've already tested the wax on yourself. alot of diabetics are completely fine and are 'normal'. it really is not that much to worry about. i would put it on the client card though to cover your own back.
The only other thing is if they are nervous/hate pain/have a low pain threshold it can cause low blood sugar levels. however, they'll know how to combat this very easily and shouldn't be something you need to worry about.
They aren't invalids, their pancreas just doesn't work properly!

Please Please, stop all this twadle you are all qualified therepists and should not be injuring your clients anyway.
Massage is good for diabetics, why? because it improves blood circulation and that is something they have problems with. Waxing does no harm, indian head massage is good, physio therepists totaly disregard diabitic as a contra indication and reflexoligy is RECOMENDED
I could go on but I'll start screaming so instead I will leave you with one final thing
Diabetics do something comenly called a prick finger test, this is where they use a needle on the side of the pad of the finger to produce a drop of blood that is put onto a test strip and this is put into a machine to test the suger level. I do not know of any diabetics who use a sterile dressing to clean the wound site. they all put the bloody finger in their mouth and get on with life. this test is carried out once or twice daily and I also don't know any diabetics who have suffered gangreen or blood poisoning from this practice.
