Can diabetics be sedated?
The quick answer is yes. They will obtain labs during pre-op and again on the day of surgery to confirm you’re within acceptable ranges to safely undergo sedation.

Also, if you also have sleep apnea and wear a CPAP ask your anesthesiologist if they would like you to bring that with you on the day of surgery. READ MORE
