Hip op

[Dave61]

Good morning,has anybody with diabetes had a hip replacement operation?

Not a hip but had a knee 5 years ago.

I don’t think we’ve had many threads about it @Dave61

Is it something you are considering or looking into?

With any surgery they like people to have good blood glucose management and I have heard of cases where surgery is delayed if somebody's HbA1C is too high. Healing and recovery is better and less chance of infection.
