Pre-op diest and low blood sugar

[bevewhite 25]

Today was my first day to start the Adkins diet. I have been instructed to eat this high Protein diet for 4 days and then go to Atkins shakes for 3 days. I had Breakfast around 0830 this morning and at 1030 my blood sugar had bottomed out to the 40s. I ate some lunch meat that I found, but i knew that was not going to be enough with my routine medications on board. So, I end up eating a fruit cup to get my blood sugar up. I guess going forward, I need to reduce my medications. I take 3 different medications. I guess, I am going to have to experiment with what to take. Have others had problems with their blood sugar and medications during the pre-op diet?

Yes I had to stop all three of mine the same happens to me two weeks ago when I started mine. I stopped metform 1000 twice a day glibride 5 mg once and tranjenta. 5 mg. All I take is at830 am metform 500 that's it and my sugars about 80 all day.

I am not diabetic, but this sounds like something you should work out between your regular doctor and your surgeon. I assume you have talked to your NUT about this?
