Is spraying tanning okay for diabetics
I am curious someone mentioned to me the other day that spray tanning for diabetics was bad. This is due to the sugar conent in the solution. I don't recall this information. Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks

Re: Is spraying tanning okay for diabetics
Yes, I had someone mention that the DHA color is derived from the sugar cane plant. Which I know is true. They mentioned that some diabetics are claiming that they are having a negative reation to this with the solution going into their skin.
Now, I pride myself on doing a lot of homework on something, but I hadn't heard this one. Any info on this will be very appreciated. thanks

Re: Is spraying tanning okay for diabetics
I have heard it can slightly raise the blood sugar levels. It seems to make sense....the skin is the largest organ of the human body, and then to cover it in a sugar based substance...the skin has to absorb some of that into the body. I have sprayed diabetics also with no adverse reaction. The adverse reactions must be from very extreme cases of diabetes.

Re: Is spraying tanning okay for diabetics
I spray diabetics all the time and I was concerned at first because of the "SUGAR" issue, but when I presented this to endo md's and diabetics confer with their docs they say no problem because it only effects surface layers of the skin. The client would have to consume sugar through the digestive or IV means...Now to cover my backside..I instr them to check w. their md prior to service. If diabetics has a problem with sunless service I would think if client had sugar scrubs from a spa would be alittle more agressive service. Not sure. Now if a client came to get sunless every single day for a period of time, it may cause concern...Maybe??
I know I have a very sensitive feeble diabetic with a continous pump and she sprays every other week. No problems here...
