Do I Need to Be Cleared by my PCP or Endocrinologist Before Surgery for a TT?

I am a type I diabetic on an insulin pump and wanting a TT. I am well controlled with a good AIC. I was wondering if I will have to be cleared by my Dr and what if they suggest I don't have the procedure? I feel like I'm well controlled and must say I heal quickly for being a diabetic! I just don't want to be turned down. Thanks in advance!
