Managing blood sugar levels before surgery is an important concern that many people face. Working closely with your healthcare team, including your primary care doctor and surgeon, can help you develop the best plan for your specific situation and timeline. The community here has lots of experience navigating pre-surgery preparations, so hopefully others will share what worked for them too.

That's exactly right about working with your healthcare team - and don't hesitate to ask them about specific dietary changes or timing that might help you reach your A1C goal faster given your surgery timeline.
