Hello,
Good day.
Hernia may become worse later and as time passes, this age become risky for operation later. Best is to do surgery now. Diabetes can be controlled with medicines and Insulin and opeartion can be done atleast 10 days after good diabetes control. BP also should be controlled adequately to around 140/80 mm hg before surgery.
