Those that were diabetic or has hypoglycemia how did you do on the pre surgery liquid diet? And what did you have and time.schedule to avoid low blood sugar drops?

My sugars stayed about the same they did drop due to lack of food but not to low. liquid was broth, Jello, sugar free popsicle coffe black, tea.

The big drop in blood sugars came after the surgery. I was running around 260-300 on 11 diferent meds today I'm running around 90-120 with with no Med's

I have tried going a day on a liquid diet and get then about 3-4 pm I feel my sugar drop. I feel like I am losing control I feel panicky and can't concentrate I feel sweaty and like my heart is racing. I finally told the NP and plan to tell my pcp Thursday. I am just worried about doing the liquid diet and feeling that way

Fingers crossed for you. I am glad to see someone understands what this feels like. I just wonder how to get through it or past it during the pre op liquid phase

I just went through the liquid diet and what helped me being diabetic is Water down gatorade one big bottle. It contains sugar and doctor recommended.
