Is there anyone out there with diabetes and the lap band? If so I have some questions.

Hey I am a Type 1 diabetic and was just banded on 6/25.

Plenty of diabetics here I'm a type 2. What are your questions?

I was just wondering people's experience with low blood sugar. I'm on an insulin pump and it seems that I'm correcting low blood sugar at least once a day. That mean 60 extra calories. It's never the same time of day so I cant really change my insulin. I also just wanted to know how your experience was with your diabetes after being banded.

I'm also type 2. I have been banded 6 1/2 month & have had low blood sugar several times, mainly at night. I normally have 2 oz of oj and I'm fine.

Banded 2 months ago and also a type 2 diabetic and sometimes I be having LOW blood sugar

Im not a diabetic however sine being banded 8months ago i have been dealing with low sugars. Its called RHG reactive hypoglycemia for me its when i would eat carbs an not include a protein. So for me i am sticking to a low glycemic index diet an it helps

Hey I am also in an insulin pump. My dr just keeps having me change my basal rates until I am on a semi normal diet. I understand what u mean when u say it happens several times a day. I have been experiencing the same problem. Its kind of a hit and miss. Just gotta keep tweaking it until we find the perfect setting.

Banded 6/25/12

I go to the endo in two weeks. Hopefully she will help me out. I'm fairly versed in changing my Basel rates but lately nothing I do seems to work. Kind of like hitting that sweet spot with your band.
