For an implant to be successful, it is always better if blood sugar levels are in the normal range with diet control or medications or a combination of both. Higher levels can contribute to implant failure at later stage especially if patients do not follow good oral hygiene regimens. If some bone grafting procedure is required at implant placement, diabetes can limit the success of such procedures. Implants may be considered in your case if your sugar levels are well under control.
