I am newly banded, last Tuesday to be exact. Ever since I came home from surgery my blood sugars have been high. Like up to 380. Called endo and she had me come in. Well apparently I was not taking the correct insulin. Before surgery I was on Regular insuline U500. Since the surgery she has me in Regular insulin U100. I have not been under 200 yet. I am eating nothing, my carbs are below 50 per day, no sugars, no fats. Complete liquid stage of the diet. I have dropped from the over 300's down to the 200's, but what gives. Why wont my sugars go down to normal?

I had only been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a couple of months when I had the band.

I quit taking the junuvia (sp.) cause I was keeping under 140 with diet and exercise. However I quit losing and was going up and down the same five pounds, also my BG started getting wacky high. I started taking the meds again and have lost five pounds in a few days. Does that make any sense?
