Your blood sugar is not at alarming level but slightly increased, but your HbA1c is within normal range which indicate average of 3 months, you consult endocrinologist ,he will control within 2- 3 days at normal level & you can safely go for cataract surgery absolutely at no risk,with regards Dr Arjun kr Singh Patna.

Your HbA1c is normal but the current sugars are not in range. Meet a diabetologist to get adequate control. These short term fluctuations can be managed easily. Take care
