If you are not diabetic, this should work.
Preferably never do a random check. Fasting and PP are more conclusive.
For diabetic 82 is too low.
Sugar levels can be checked daily or as and when required.
Your operating surgeon will let you know if a more recent investigation is required.

It is better to do Fbs,ppbs, hba1c. If the blood sugar levels are below,180,you can go for cataract surgery. Pl consult ophthalmologist and endocrinologist for further evaluation and treatment.

As the report will be less than one month old, it can be taken into account for the cataract surgery
