It depends. Diabetes is not a contraindication by itself. What is most important is the progression of the disease and the overall condition of the person. If there are any doubts about the risks and benefits of massage on a person with diabetes, have them consult with their doctor.

∙ 9y agoDiabetes does not prevent you from having a massage. If your diabetes is being managed, just make sure you are well hydrated and have had enough to eat so you don't have problems on the table.

∙ 15y agoI would not massage an insulin injection site, nor do strength training after insulin injection, because of the possibility that the tissue/muscle movement could accelerate the insulin absorption into the system, causing low, then high, blood sugar.

∙ 14y agoDiabetics can get a massage, but they need to check with their doctor first. The main concern is if they have any neuropathy or cardiovascular problems. Also, massage should not be administered right after an insulin injection. It is best to wait until just before they are scheduled to inject themselves with insulin.

Why is a supine hypotensive syndrome a contraindication to massage?
It is not a contraindication for massage at all. It is a contraindication for being in a supine, and even a prone, position. If the massage therapist is trained properly, they will know how to do a sidelying position massage that will be safe. Again, it is not the massage that is contraindicated, but the position that most people have on the massage table. Sidelying resolves the issues with supine hypotensive syndrome so there should be no problem for you to receive a massage, just lie on your side, or even better, just on your left side.
