Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find some information (papers, policies etc) relating to performing nail surgery on patients with a high HbA1c.
Our policy (NHS) currently states that we will only perform nail surgery if a patients HbA1c is <9.0%, however we will occasionally get prophylactic antibitoics from a patients GP if the nail is particularly bad and their HbA1c is higher than this to try and reduce risk of infection post op.
I'd be interested to see what other podiatrists think about the use of prophylaxis in patients with a high HbA1c, and also what level of HbA1c you think is too high to perform nail surgery?
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your replies.
