My blood sugar has been on the high side even after losing 46 lbs. I can't figure out why since I am eating almost no sugar. Is this something that will regulate itself?

Oh and I am almost 4 weeks post op.

I guess you are diabetic? The liver releases sugar into your blood stream when you are not taking in carbs. The brain needs sugar s an energy source. So eating or not eating your blood sugar will rise either from the food your taking in or from the livers release. If your blood sugar is going up when not eating then you will need a basal insulin like Lantus.

I'm confused. I thought losing weight would help diabetes. Type 2, I mean. I'm a borderline diabetic and this is one reason I'm having surgery. I hope it doesn't make it go up more. I'm not on any medications right now. Just seems strange to me.

I have type 2 diabetes and had my surgery one month ago and now I'm off my medications because it's now controlled. However that isn't the case for everyone sadly. I did have some Hugh's and lows at first but now my sugars are great!! Keep pushing it will get better

I was borderline prior to surgery. I just assumed that it would go down quickly.

Research says about 80%of type 2 diabetics will leave the hospital not needing any more medication. I am struggling with high blood sugars post op but my surgeon doesn't seem concerned. He said for some it will take a few weeks and some a few months. I am three weeks out tomorrow and still taking metformin but less than I was pre op.

I am almost 2 wks. post op and I have had to take my medication twice. My general doctor told me that it might happen when I change stages with the diet and introduce new foods.

I would just keep writing foods down so you can see what can be the trigger. Give yourself more time and it will be back to normal
