Surgery Cancelled to A1C being too high

[Ohiogirl14 24]

Anyone have their surgery cancelled or delayed due to A1C being high. Mine was 9.1 surgeon requires under 9. Any advice on how to quickly lower A1C. I am being tested again on March 5.

Bummer....

I would take a long look at what you are eating and drinking. Don't do that BS food funeral nonsense, throw in some more exercise and check your blood sugars every day to make sure you are keeping on track.

My friend had her surgery cancelled due to high glucose readings (200 plus) Endocrinologist prescribed another med and she is clear to go next week. In all, she had to wait another month. As for getting the A1c down, take your meds, get exercise and stay away from sugars and carbs. Good luck.

I hope your doctor gave you some suggestions? If not, shame on them and maybe ask your regular doctor or a dietician?
