Sleeve Diet And Insulin Resistance

I'm still considering whether to have the sleeve or not. My insulin resistance causes problems for me when I eat low carb diets because then I tend to get low blood sugar and very weak. Although the sleeve would probably heal the insulin resistance eventually, I'm wondering if the liquid and puree and otherwise low carb sleeve diet will cause me to be too weak initially?

I have or should I said had Type 2 Diabetes, my sugar was really high while in the hospital receiver shots but was told it was normal because I was in pain. I will be two weeks tomorrow, completely off my medicine and normal sugar levels! I mean ridiculously normal levels...this works!

how is your energy level since the surgery? weak, tired?

Better actually

I am still pre op but I think your bs is low because your stil on a liquid diet. Just watch your numbers once you eat real food again. I am type 1 and on a pump so I will always be insulin dependent.

I had my surgery Oct 8. My sugar was 301 the morning of surgery. I was using insulin 4 times day. Now my sugar runs 77-105 no insulin. I have energy to burn. I usually have to rest about 30 or 45 min a day now just so I don't tire in the evenings
