HI
Well come to HCM
As long as the diabetes is concern the blood sugar level need to be control on tight rule basis this is very important, now for the glycated hemoglobin HbA1c (A the value of this must be under 7 % ) if this goes beyond this then it may be critical one, hope this information helps, take care.
