Hi, so I'm just 5 days post op, still having glucose levels around 200 without 2 of my meds. Still taking metformin. Will it stay up until I lose a certain amount of weight? They said the trauma of surgery could cause it but I'm just afraid it's my body.

Hi I am type 1 diabetic and my BS stayed in the upper 200's for several weeks. My doc also told me it was due to the surgery and it takes a while to even out.

Hello there. You have not filled out your stats but I know depending on your weight we are all different. I was take off Metformin after surgery and my A1C has gone from 7 to 5, so I hope not to see Metformin again. My husband is type 2 diabetic, was 300+ lbs. and now weighs 250, and he takes a basic low dose of insulin morning and night, but we steer clear of carbs and sugar completely since the sleeve. His A1C has gone from 12 to 7, and his blood sugar is usually around 110 every morning. Good luck!
