Default Is being diabetic affect cataract surgery?

Hy, I’m new here. I’m going to have my cataract surgery after two weeks from Valley laser eye centre. The cataract is in my right eye where I have almost lost vision in my left eye. I have worn glasses all my life and now I’m 56 years old. Is being diabetic or pre-diabetic going to affect the surgery? I am pre- diabetic, but my glucose level is not yet controlled. I’m having asthma too and I fear a lot to have this surgery because I can’t breathe when lying flat for the surgery due to this asthma problem. Any suggestions?
