Blood sugars rose post sleeve?

[2bullymom 44]

I was just sleeved on Monday and released to home yesterday (Tuesday). My blood sugars gradually rose after surgery, from the 90s then up to the 120s, 130s and finally before discharge it was in the 160s. I am not diabetic, I hadn't had much to drink at all and am just wondering why they would have gone up so much. Diabetes runs in my family and that is a large reason I got sleeved to begin with, to lessen my risk. Has this happened to anyone else?

Stress of surgery causes a release in endogenous steroids. It's very common to see higher blood sugars post op.

Mine have been very inconsistent for the most part. The first week post surgery, i took NO insulin whatsoever but as I started eating food again, I had to start taking insulin again. I have lost 83 lbs so far and I have cut my insulin intake down by 60% which I am very happy about.....so is my wallet. Just remember, as diabetics we need to balance the Protein and carb intake
