thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. if the glucose level is 355 its not an ideal condition to go ahead with extraction. the complications associated with uncontrolled blood glucose level includes delayed wound healing, infection of the bone, spread of infection. its better to get an HbA1C level if it is normal then you can go for extraction. but still its better to bring the glucose level to normal and then go for extraction. consult your physician and adjust the dose of antidiabetic drugs. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
