Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Dental surgeon will only work on you if blood glucose is below 200 mg (PP). Otherwise, there is a chance of infection. So it is necessary for you to achieve that level. The options open are to increase Insulin dosage by 2 units in the morning and by 4 units in the night. Or plan a strict dietary change so that low glucose is maintained. Plus increase the level of exercise. Orelse, there is also another option of using SGLT - 2 Inhibitor for better control. Thanks.
