  1. So the day of my surgery they almost didn't do it because my sugar was 73. I did exactly what they told me to the two weeks prior to my surgery. She came over to me and said your chart is incorrect it says you have type 2 diabetes not type 1. I simply stared at her and waited because I was sure she had a point. Then she just walked away. Anyways after my surgery my sugar was ridiculously high. It was 199 WTF!

      Blood sugars usually always spike after a surgery. I wouldn't worry too much, soon enough they will normalize. My diabetes is in remission, it has been from a week after surgery.

      I'm surprised that the nurse made that assumption based on one blood sugar reading. Since you have to fast before surgery, it's pretty normal for levels to be off. Don't worry about the blood sugar spike after surgery. I had the same experience and my diabetes has been in remission ever since.

  2. So the in 24 hours I will be having surgery...kinda terified since I have a terrible time with anesthesia but both excited and nervous

      Im 5'3 also, but can't stand recliners as they don't fit me well. I need to lay flat to sleep, so I slept very well on the couch for 3 days. I needed help getting on and off the couch for the 1st 2 days, ( you will need someone there to help with EVERYTHING ) then was able to manage by myself. After that, no problems !!!

  5. A little nervous about surgery. I understand the basics but I'm not a fan of hospitals especially because I'll have to do this alone
