Hello
First of all I would like to appreciate your health cautious thoughts.
Yes, over weight is a concerned factor for diabetes and one should be very careful about it; but it is not the only thing to be concerned about. There are certain other factors that predispose to Diabetes; like Genetics, status of your pancreas and even your lifestyle. So, with liposuction and good lifestyle modification you definitely have a reduced risk for Diabetes.
