First week

[TackleType1 1]

Sleeve Surgery is planned for June 4. I'm a Type 1 diabetic with an insulin pump. What can I expect the first week as far as eating, special things to do to help, what others with Type 1 have done with insulin, etc. Thanks!!

You might not have to take any boluses for a few days maybe a week. your Carb intake will be second to none! you will need to check your BG more than ever.! Your diabetes Dr. Might want to change your basal rate to the Lowest rate possible for your first few weeks also! That's what happened to me!

Thank you for the reply. Did you experience a lot of lows during the first two weeks?
