Going through the operating room being diabetic, it causes me insecurity

Hello everyone, I would like to know your opinion or know if someone has operated on something being diabetic and if you have had any complication.

I am thinking of undergoing an aesthetic surgery operation, I have been mammary prostheses for several years (I operated long before debuting with diabetes), and as many years have passed my prostheses are beginning to give me problems, in addition to not lasting fromFor life.

I am thinking of making a prosthesis replacement but I have read that in diabetics it is dangerous to perform any surgery ...

I have already seen 2 surgeons and both tell me that as long as the diabetes is controlled, there is no problem and that during the surgery I will be controlled and monitored all the time, that I will simply have to be very careful that the wounds and little else are not infected.

Even so, it causes me to do it because it is still aesthetic and that is not life or death ...

I also wonder what diabetic moms do if they have a caesarean section or if any diabetic has a health problem and needs an emergency surgery ...

What do they do in these cases?

How dangerous is we get to an operating room?

Thank you!

@Madrid91: The only thing you have to keep in mind is that even if you have good control, the healing of your wounds after the operation will be much slower than if you did not have diabetes

If I notice that the colds last more.

What you have to try to put a little less slowly on the day of the operation to avoid hypos, although they control in the operating room.For the rest, if you carry good control, the healing will be normal.

I have operated on vitrectomy (epirreinian membrane in both eyes) twice, an intervention with general anesthesia in each case.

I have not had any problems.They only told me that that day I did not prick me insulin and that it did not start too much (two hours before nothing, no water).

As they told me, it was preferable to be high of sugar than to suffer hypoglycemia during the intervention, which is solved with a good lunch and not puncture insulin.

I had no problem any of the time.
