tera1982 194 Posted May 1, 2015 Hello everyone! I hope I'm doing this right;I just joined today. I was just wondering if anyone out there has had the sleeve who is a type-1 diabetic? I'm on an insulin pump and surgeon says after surgery, no more pump...I'm EXTREMELY nervous and excited all at once. Any advice or personal experience with this? Thanks!

bluesclues 49 Posted May 1, 2015 Hi Im Type 1 on a pump as well and I can tell you I'm still on my pump and still taking metformin. I stopped taking victoza. Sure, I'm taking less insulin but you can't get rid of T1 diabetes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tera1982 194 Posted May 1, 2015 I know it will never go away, that's something I learned LOOONG ago. I was just wondering how others' experience was after the sleeve... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennalee003 9 Posted May 6, 2015 I had surgery on the 27th and I am type 1 female 30 years old. I haven't had any lows but I keep going high. They told me to lower my basal rates by half but it's way too low. I don't have to take insulin for food anymore though so that's good. Hoping I can start getting my blood sugars more under 200 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
