I don’t know if I have diabetes for sure yet, so are there any risks of getting laughing gas to get my teeth removed? Thanks!

It shouldn’t be a problem. People with advanced diabetes sometimes have serious circulation problems so wounds heal very slowly. If you’re not even sure whether you’re diabetic or not, it’s not a problem. Mention your suspicion to your dentist and see what he thinks.
And by all means get some blood tests to see if you have diabetes! If you have a friend with diabetes, he or she would have a blood glucose meter and would probably be happy to test you. That can at least rule it out.
the only risk is, because of your diabetes ,you are more prone to infection, there is no indication for you to given laughing gas
