[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2023161, member: 94045"] Because you are diabetic, you will be tested at the hospital and if your levels are too high they will postpone the operation. Hospital doctors are well aware of the risk diabetics face when having an operation. As for symptoms of sepsis. When a patient is having chemotherapy there is a very serious risk of sepsis because the chemo kills off the neutrophils in the white blood cells, which means they have little or no resistance to infection. Because of this they are given plenty of information on what to look out for. The first symptom is raised temperature, and if that is apparent they are advised to contact the unit immediately so they can have immediate anti-biotic treatment. The best way of keeping an eye on temperature is to have a reliable and good thermometer at home and do regular checks. [/QUOTE]
