From what I understand, all patients are at risk for high sugar levels after surgery, it also can indicate that you are more at risk for an infection- but it's not always diabetes related.  

Has your uncle been diagnosed with pre-diabetes before this, or is it a concern just because of the levels after anesthesia?
