This is defined as a subject who needs high doses of insulin, recent history of hospitalization for diabetes-related complications, or poor wound health as evidenced by diabetic ulcers. Subjects who have been deemed healthy enough for abdominoplasty surgery would tend to suggest that their diabetes should not be an issue. However, if the subjects have diabetic complications as outlined above, they could affect the wound healing which is the object of this protocol so they would be excluded.
