General anesthesia: Should I?

I'm scheduled for general anesthesia tomorrow and I made the mistake of looking up information on the web about it. I'm looking for help to decide whether to cancel it or not.

54 year old male with diabetes that I haven't been very good about controlling of late. Also obese. This is for an MRI at a radiology clinic and I'm a bit nervous that they'll err on the side of getting the scan done when it comes to my suitability for general anesthesia. My current glucose levels wouldn't trigger any hard limits, but they're high.

Finding an open MRI would remove the need for anesthesia but would likely require flying to another city. Which I'm prepared to do after terrorizing myself online. I'm looking for a saner opinion either way.
