Hi. I've read a lot of different things on the net about being able to have leg / bikini wax and being a diabetic. Can anyone offer any advice? I can understand if someone had neuropathy not to get a leg wax...... Thanks

basically its to do with as you say things like neuropathy...............a lot of beaty technicians will need to ask you if you have diabetes so they can adjust there technique if needed to accomadate for individuals with less feeling in there extremeties...

however if there are no diabetic effects and control is good then there is no reason why these therapies cant be carried out............
