diabetics, what HbA1C did you need before surgery?

Hi,

was wondering if anyone has experience with this. Did your surgeon require your HbA1C to be a certain level before surgery? I have type I and my blood glucose has been a bit wonky the past month or so. I'm afraid that the surgeon will not approve me if I need to get my A1C done right now.

Nobody said anything to me about what my number needs to be. I hope to god it doesn't have to be good, because mine hasn't been. Just got my blood drawn this morning and will find out soon what it was. Almost afraid to go into my doctor cause he's going to yell at me for sure. Hopefully my surgery news will distract him, hehe.

Hi,

Last Dec. my A1C was 8.1, REALLY Bad!!!!! My blood sugars were swinging high and low:scared2:. I just got my results back and with just a 10 loss I'm back to

6.5 much better. The endocronologist was happy. I hope the Surgeon will be too with the turn around,

I see him next Mon.
