Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was told by my surgeon to stop all my diabetic medications when I started the 2 week diet before the surgery. My primary care physician said to see him 2 weeks after surgery. I never went back on my diabetic medication. My numbers run from 96 to 120. I am not a diabetic anymore. Hope this helps!

I was taken off metformin but honestly I wish I could be back on it. I eat about 400-600 calories a day and my blood sugar runs higher than it should most of the day. I still use insulin, just bolus now when previous I was on both basal and bolus.

My A1c is lower but again that’s due to food quantity. I’ve hit these same numbers before when my eating disorder was active. 🤷‍♀️

I have the same insulin sensitivity and carb ratios as before the surgery. So if I actually ate any carbs, I need insulin.

Also when I had my second surgery to remove my gallbladder my blood sugar was very high for days.

Basically everything is the same as it was before.

I was told I was Diabetic in the June before November Surgery. I said I would hold off taking medication for it until I had blood tests 3 months after my surgery. I am no longer Diabetic. I feel so much more energised.

I was diabetic controlled by Metformin pre- surgery. I stopped taking my Metformin when I started my pre- surgery diet. I'm 9 weeks post op and haven't had to go back on it. I feel good and have good energy. I've lost 63lbs so far.
