So I was scheduled to have surgery in 5 days. I get a phone call from nurse saying they have to delay my surgery cuz of my A1C is too high. I can understand it's for safety reasons but now in don't know how long I am delayed for. Has any one else gone through this????

They didn't delay mine and should have. My A1c was extremely high and it caused me to go into diabetic ketoacidosis. I was seriously close to not making it and was in ICU for 3 nights. I'm not trying to scare you but it is for the best. Hopefully they can make some changes to your insulin and you can have the surgery soon. Keeping you in my thoughts!

Mine was almost delayed but I got my sugar down and now I'm 6.1 on the a1c

Well my original date was Aug 7 but delayed because my A1C was 11.6 and by Sept 22 I brought it down to 8.6 got another surgery date of Nov 27 but two weeks ago I was asked if I would like to go on Oct 30 so I took it.. I walked out of the hospital no longer on any diabetic medications... No more pills and no more insulin.... Yeah

that is so awesome

my blood sugars have been running high for the past several weeks, I am working hard these next few days to get it lower before surgery on Wednesday. My prayer is that this surgery eliminates or greatly reduces my need for insulin. I am so happy for you, I also pray that I don't get delayed because of the high sugars. But I would have to understand it would be for my own good,

I just did everything they asked me to do.....show them you are commited to change in lifestyle. You will do great!
