Type ii diabetics

[marypip 2]

Had my bypass on Monday. Only on a liquid diet, my blood sugars are sky high. They cut my meds way down in the hospital

So I'll be putting a call into my endo to see what I should be taking and how much. My question is how did others with type II do after. Did anyone have to increase their meds.

Surgery 12/12, didn't have to increase my insulin but I'm still on insulin today, when I was in the hospital after surgery and had a blood sugar over 200 I noticed that potassium was hanging for my IV, and guess what's in that with the potassium? Glucose! Duh....... Dorks! So I requested to have it without glucose and then sugars went down after that! I'm currently using less than half what I was on, wish you the best......

I was on U-500 insulin and a boatload of oral meds--really insulin resistant. Sugar was high after surgery which was 3/25. Has steadily come down. I took 10 units on the morning it was 134but other than that no insulin. I am still currently taking Januvia. Hoping to eventually be off all meds and have the diabetes under control. Feeling better with not having the highs and lows all the time. Best thing I could have done for my health. My ends was the one who suggested this would be the best way for me to get a handle on the diabetes. Currently not taking any cholesterol meds--will see what my next blood test shows. Figure I'm not eating much with cholesterol currently--will see how much my body is producing. Those pills are so big.
