Low sugars after surgery?

    I have 20 days to go before my sleeve. I have found as I make changes to diet sugars drop for awhile but then body seems to adjust and I gradually need to increase insulin again, however my levels are mostly in the normal range now. I am down to around 1000 calories a day, keeping sugar and carb content low. I start pre op diet Friday and expect to reduce insulin doses...

    Did anyone have trouble after the op with low sugars? If so what helped?

    During surgery (and the day after) the surgeon will most likely keep your sugars on the higher end (150-250) just becuase it is easier to treat highs post surgery. It took a couple days for me to get my sugars back down to the normal range but now 10 days post surgery my sugars are back to normal and my Lantus has decreased by 50% and my short acting insulin has probably been lowered by 75%. I do get lows now and just treat them with glucose tabs or a little juice.
