If you have had any type of surgery, did your blood sugars stay controlled? What did you do?

Before my prostate reduction surgery, I was on pills but doctor advised insulin to control the sugar. However, after a week he kept me on sitalgliptin tabs from normal Amaryl 1 tab.

Were you told to take nothing the day of the surgery?

Like they say,past has gone,live in the present and prepare for the future.But,they must have been trying times for you.From what I can understand,you have a strong family support and that is something.👍👍👍

Hi

I had a liver Transplant and as such my BSL went very high as expected. I was on Insulin - both types - for about three months as well as Metformin. Then I was taken off the boost insulin and then after a further three months off insulin completely 👍. After one year my BSL came down to pre- TP levels and then a month later I was told I could stop Metformin as well! Yippee 😁👍
