Question 1

it'd be possible that a diabetic get their nosed pierced?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Where on your nose do you want to pierce?  Are you type i or type ii diabetic?  Is your sugar managed appropriately?  Have you had trouble with infections before?  How long have you been diabetic?  Although the nose is vascular, disinfecting prior to piercing and cleanliness after piercing may be problematic given wet mucosal surfaces on the interior of the nose.  Get your doctor's thoughts.
