CoolSculpting, belly fat and diabetes. Is there a benefit?

September 27, 2017
Asked By:Maldwin in Calabasas, CA

I have type 2 diabetes. My A1C fluctuates between 5.3 and 6.4. I walk about 25 miles per week and go to the gym 3 times a week. I am not overweight by much, but I have belly fat that I cannot seem to get rid of. I have heard that type 2 diabetes is directly related to belly fat, so would cool sculpting benefit me in my quest to win the fight with my A1C?
