Hi..
The decision is based on if the diabetic control is good or not ..
Not on one particular reading ..
Though 258 is slightly on the higher side , if fasting is good, and HbA1C is good, we can still go ahead...
Mostly PP of 200 is acceptable.
But if all readings are high . Get sugars controlled by the diabetic doctor.
Follow your treating doctors advice .

For cataract surgery its better if her sugars (pp) is below 180 or ideally 160 as post operation risks like infection swellings....are reduced
Cataract surgery can be peformed safely even with sugars upto 200
