Abstract
Body piercing is becoming increasingly common, but is not without complications. We present the cases of two patients with type 1 diabetes who required hospital admission following tongue piercing. These cases led us to survey the current practice of piercing establishments in the Lothian area. This revealed inconsistencies and a lack of information regarding the management of diabetes following piercing. As a result of this, an information leaflet was produced which is now available to all patients with diabetes who have a piercing performed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
