Diabetic Questions

[Pink nova 99]

I have Type 2 Diabetes and I was off my meds right after surgery. It was actually tentative on my blood sugar readings (if over 6.0 then I would take a half dose of what I normally took but I never read of 6.0 after my surgery 😁)

My high blood pressure meds were a bit different. At the hospital after my surgery, I didn’t need them at all because my reading was normal range. When I got home, it was borderline high (maybe because of family stresses?! Lol) so I would test my blood pressure every morning and take half a dose accordingly if I read over 130. I took it a few days a week for maybe 2 months and now I’m off of them completely.

I also had severe sleep apnea and was on a bipap machine but since surgery, I’m okay to not use it (I don’t feel sleepy or get headaches like I did before if I didn’t use it). I go in for a sleep study after my one year mark to see if I can eliminate it all together. That would be a dream!

Good luck!

I was on Metformin before my surgery and immediately off after my surgery. I had RNY 2 years ago and I haven’t been on anything since the day of surgery.
