Mel - I disagree. It is an issue that any good beautician is obliged to ask you about prior to commencing treatment on you.
The issue with waxing is the potential for reduced healing ability. This can mean the you are more susceptible to infection - so therefore any injury to the skin caused by waxing could be a problem. Apparently people with vascular damage or nerve damage are at particular prone to problems.

As far as I know the issue is very, very minor provided the diabetes is managed properly, but they will more than likely - and should, like any other practioner - ask you for medical conditions and such to cover themselves should something go ary.
