Pre Op Bypass With Diabetes



Recommended Posts

I have type 2 diabetes and I was wondering did anyone have any complications when it came to surgery I'm so nervous that my sugar will be to high and they can't operate I have been exercising and eating my best but I'm still nervous does anyone have any advice or know any ways to keep your blood sugar regular I'm not on insulin I'm on metformin 500mg ( my surgery date is may 21st)

My friend just has gastric sleeve and she has diabetes! Her sugars were between 160-180 before surgery and sometimes they were higher for unknown reasons! She just had her surgery yesterday!

This helps my sugar is never really high but I don't want no problems on surgery day thanks

I was on 2000mg Metformin before surgery. On my surgery day (March 12), my number jumped from 120s to low 300s. It took a few weeks to drop back to prediabetes numbers. Today was my first <100 in a long time (without meds since April 1st). Expect a large spike from the surgery, but the hospital staff will be nice enough to monitor you blood sugar frequently while in the hospital (and they will not be shy about waking you up every 3-4 hours to do it).

But did you have to have a certain sugar level before they performed surgery I just don't want nothing to be delayed

My surgeon ever said a specific number, but just said if it was "too" high... Your surgeon will be able to give you the safe/ unsafe range that he/she is comfortable with
