From an orthopaedic blog I subscribe to....if your HB1AC is too high you have an elevated risk for infection during foot and ankle surgery.

You have more risk for any surgery.

More surgeons nowadays are asking the patients to reduce hba's before surgery. If above a certain level they won't operate until they've lowered.
