Thanks Amy T and Allison at DiabetesMine for clarifying these diabetic myths:

Tattoos, Pedi’s, and Other Diabetes No-No’s.

I have to say that I got a tattoo in 1994 and was unaware that it was a (supposed) no-no for people with diabetes. And I paint my own toenails but that’s because I’m trying to save money, not because I worried about diabetes.
