I hate you diabetes

[Omfgmelly 56]

Well guys after all that I went thru bc of this diabetes it continues to haunt me. I won't know for sure if I can get his surgery till Friday when im scheduled for wednesday. sugar levels were horrible at pre-testing brought them down about 80 points- going back to my doctor Friday to get tested again- I'm on liquids now- no cigs- I think if I get denied on Friday- I won't be doing this surgery 6 months of this, I'm exhausted. I pray that my sugars go down with this liquid diet one can only hope right? :/

Wow I'm so incredibly sorry.

Be careful with your liquids between now and Friday. I'd stay away from juice or anything sugary.

Can I ask how high your sugar is running and how low do you need it to be to safely have surgery?

I really, really hope this works for you because I am guessing the band and weight loss would help you so much.

My sugar was at 327 on pre testing it has never been that high, when I went on Saturday it was 243. My doctor said if I get it between 175-215, then we will be fine. :/

I had diabetes too but my sugar was not quite that high.. I did Protein drinks.. sugar free, like muscle milk and GNC lean shakes.. are you on insulin or oral medication... ? I will pray that you are able to get your surgery.. my sugar is running less than 100 now and I am off of all meds.. I have only lost 33 lbs but it makes so much difference in the way I am eating. protein , veggies and small amt of carbs.. but nothing with much sugar.. keep us posted.. we are all pulling for you...

I'm on oral medication now; I'm on Medifast right now; but due to financial situation switching to whey protein I got the ok from my nutritionist and I can do muscle milk light- I'm gonna try my hardest, I checked my sugar after eating all day a couple of hours ago it was at 200- which I feel Is good- due to the fact it was much higher when I was fasting then after I ate! So cross your fingers guys!!!

I'm surprised that the doctor didn't put you on a sliding scale, which insulin injections for a week or few days before surgery and after so that your sugars can come down. I would call your doctor and ask about a sliding scale. Good Luck!!!

I don't think they want to out insulin; they want to see if I can lower it on my own without havin to go to that extreme- I have an appt Friday to see if its lowered if Friday is a no go- I decided I'm not having this sx I'm gonna take it as a sign and see how I manage.
