I am 79 years of age. I am a diabetic patient for more than 25 years and am on insulin. Last I had undergone KidneyBiopsy due my creatine level on very high side. I had taken 4 injections and the creatine level is almost normal. But the Potassium level is always slightly on the higher side. I would like to undergo a cataract surgery of my left eye, but due to my blood sugar fluctuating, unable to do the cataract surgery. Will you please advise as to how do I stabilise my blood sugar. For your information, I am also on Steroids i.e. Defcort 6 mg for the past more than 1 year Please advise.

You will have to be managed closely. Also if you are on any other oral hypoglycemic agents, they need to be discontinued. And your diabetes need to managed with insulin alone prior to surgery. This should help you to reduce your blood sugar
