thank you for your question before piercing your tongue, make your hba1c lower high hba1c levels. means your sugar levels are not under control it will interfere with your healing process. adequate exercises with intake of low carbohydrate diet and proper medications will help you in reducing your hba1c levels. after reducing it you can continue piercing
