Any type 1 diabetics?

    Hello. I am a type 1.5 diabetic. My surgery is November 14, 2017. Starting to get very nervous, but thankfully my husband had the sleeve last December. He has lost 110 pounds so far. The only complication he had was he had to get his gall bladder removed a month ago. Unlike him, I am a diabetic. I was curious if there were any tips or tricks for the 2week liquid diet? I know I will most likely need to adjust my baseline insulin down and use v8 to bring my sugar up if it drops too low. I have an insulin pump but also have a CGM which will be invaluable for this process. Any suggestions would be great. I know as soon as I come out of surgery I will be cutting my insulin in half! So excited!!!! Thanks ahead of time for your responses.

    I have no suggestions but just wanted to let you know I am out here. I am also a type 1 diabetic. My surgery is on Tuesday and I am getting nervous. I was just told to lower my basal numbers on my pump which I will do tomorrow. Good luck.
