Hi there. I've been wanting to get a breast augmentation for a few years now, however I've been diagnosed with T1D. I'm curious if I am still a good candidate, or if there is anything I can do to become one. Here is a brief rundown of my current condition: -I'm 5' 2" and I've had a stable weight of 95lbs for about 10 years. -26 y/o, diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 23 -A1C is stabilizing through use of insulin pump for the past year - Have never been hospitalized for diabetes
