Thanks

Hi and welcome to the site. Could you explain what fat freezing is and what are its uses?

If you mean this:

What is fat freezing and what are the risks?

A non-surgical technique to remove stubborn fat from the body can have side effects.

I’d avoid it whether I was Type 1 or not.

Hi, Yes this is what I meant! Thing is I've been doing some research on it and it was mentioned it can be good for the hard lumpy bits we get in injection sites. I massage those parts regularly and change sites etc. But they are still lumpy. So was just wondering to be honest. I'm quite sensible and pretty cynical about stuff like this for cosmetic reasons to be honest!

From that article, I don't know how anyone could think it would be a good idea. It sounds horrendous with the potential of awful side effects.

I think it is also what is referred to as "cool sculpting". I am pretty dubious about the various "beauty" treatments offered by some "clinics". Diabetes can also affect the circulation in the legs (PAD) increasing the risk and severity of the infection so I would not want to go there!
