Diabetes

So went to my last appointment yesterday before surgery, and I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes so my surgery will be delayed until I get my sugars levelled out.

Anyone else experience this before surgery during preop testing, etc..?

I am a Type 2 Diabetic. Was diagnosed when I was 29 (I'm now 39). So before I even considered surgery I knew I was going to have some hurdles w/ getting my A1C down. My doctor put me on insulin to lower my A1C for surgery. After about 3 months of taking the insulin, my A1C went down to a level where it was "safer" to perform the surgery. In my opinion, its been worth everything I've gone through. I'm now about 5 weeks post surgery (sleeve) and my blood sugar numbers have never been better. My goal is to beat diabetes altogether but I have to loose a lot more weight before I can get my hopes up. Best of luck to you in your journey.

Thank you Jennifer. I have to say I was in total shock wen they told me yesterday. I was expecting them to give me a date. Anyhow I am expecting my family physician to prescribe Metphormin and I'll see how it works. Looking at the big picture, I'm glad they caught it before hand!

Thanks for your response.
