Coolsculpting for Diabetic is FINE

Coolsculpting is an excellent procedure for diabetics. You should not be at any increased risk of complications.

If your diabetes are well-controlled, it would be absolutely fine to treat you with Zeltiq CoolSculpting. Diabetes is not a contraindication. However, if you have any coinciding coronary heart disease, this would a contraindication and I would advise against treatment. Good Luck!
