Don’t worry go ahead with treatment. Pain and delay in treatment leads to complications in diabetic patients.

Its alwsys Important to keep sugar levels to normal even if you dont need dental procedures. And for dental procedures its always better if sugar is within normal range as there will be less chance of infection postoperatively.
