Hi. Based on your medical history, I personally do not feel that they are an absolute contradiction to having a tooth extraction. But precaution obviously needs to be taken after the extraction as diabetes may impair post-extraction healing. If extraction really needs to be avoided/unrecommended by your medical doctor, the dentist will resort to do root canal treatment to put you out of pain.
