How do diabetics keep blood sugar from dropping?

[littllady 0]

I am just beginning the process and have not been to my first surgeon consultation yet but have been to the seminar, had EKG and chest xray. My blood sugar drops low every night. I have lowered my insulin dramatically but no matter what it drops. I am wondering how will I keep it from dropping when I go on a liquid diet. I was on a liquid diet for a colonoscopy a few months ago and they had me to not take insulin at all. I am wondering how do diabetics handle this situation?

I was a non-insulin dependent diabetic prior to surgery. My PCP had me monitor my BS and keep her posted. Due to the severe change in my diet during pre-op I was able to cut back on meds. Speak with your PCP about proper monitoring of your BS levels and how he/she wishes to communicate with you through the process.

You may find also that as you lose weight your insulin needs will change. It will be important to have an open line of communication with him/her so you don't feel sick.
