ccaramel27 56 Posted December 9, 2013 Has anyone had the endoscopy done and is diabetic? My doctor is unsure of what ends I can take it not before the procedure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted December 10, 2013 I am a Type I diabetic, and I have had an upper endoscopy. You should talk to your diabetes specialist about your meds., and I would recommend having it done first thing in the morning, since you need to fast beforehand. does this answer your question? I'm not sure what you are asking... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
