I have cataracts in both eyes and my doctor recommended surgery, but my blood sugar levels are high fasting is 167, PP is 245, and HbA1c is 5.6. My urine test was normal. Should I still go ahead with the surgery or is there anything else I should do first to manage my sugar levels better?
While your HbA1c is currently in the pre-diabetic range (5.6), your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels are elevated, indicating you may be experiencing hyperglycemia. Cataract surgery can be performed in diabetic patients, but good glycemic control is crucial to minimize complications. It's recommended you work with your doctor to improve your blood sugar control before proceeding with surgery.

My 1-year-old nephew was diagnosed with intermittent exotropia. I'm wondering if patching can really help fix this or if surgery is the only option. How effective are non-surgical treatments for kids this young?
Small inguinal hernias may be managed conservatively, but no proven Ayurvedic/homeopathy cure; untreated hernias may enlarge or strangulate, risking future complications.
