Answer: Candidacy for surgery with A1c of 12 Hi and welcome to our forum!You are at increased risk for complications with ANY surgical procedure, cosmetic or otherwise as your diabetes is significantly uncontrolled. Your risk for diabetes related disease is elevated even without a surgical procedure! You need to visit your primary care physician at your earliest possible convenience to control your blood sugar to prevent problems of heart damage, kidney failure, blindness, peripheral vascular disease, ketoacidosis, etc.Best wishes...

Answer: A1C elevated and surgery hemoglobin A1C is indicative of your recent blood sugar levels. A level of 12 is significantly elevated and I would not recommend undergoing any procedure at that level. You should go to your primary care physician or an endocrinologist and get your blood sugars adjusted until your a1c is less than 6 and stable. At that point you could consider surgery. Best

Answer: BBL candidate Dear therealayoajay, patients with poorly controlled diabetes have a lot higher chance of infection and other complications. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: High HgbA1c Yes, a whole host of serious complications could happen. Not worth the risk. Your first priority should be fixing your inside, not the outside. That hgba1c is indicative of chronic poor blood glucose control. Consult with your endocrinologist. Any surgeon who would do an ELECTIVE procedure on you with this Hgba1c is purely out for your money and not your wellbeing.
