[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2613446, member: 372207"] Even if you turn out to be just over the threshold, they might agree to do the operation based on your Libre results if they show a good time in range. Definitely something to argue if needed. The reason they don't want to operate with a high hba1 is because high blood glucose poses a serious extra risk, especially with healing and possible infections. Even if your hba1c should still be just over the magic number, your Libre graphs will show that your daily BG is now in a range considered safe for operations, and you can explain perfectly well why the hba1c will take some time to catch up with the improved situation. The outcome of this approach will mostly depend on the person you speak to, I fear. And please keep it like this for a long time! [/QUOTE]
