A few questions: what was your insulin regime like before surgery and how has your insulin changed since surgery? Thanks!!!!

I'm a type 1 diabetic (42 years now) and was out of control most of the time. I had a sleeve and hiatal hernia repair on May 20. Before surgery and my pre-surgery diet, I was taking 60 units of Lantus a day and between 10-15 units of novolog before each meal depending on what I ate. More if I was really hogging it up. Now I take 10 units of Lantus a day and around 2-3 units of novolog before meals. I feel so much better and I just had my best A1c ever at 6.1. (Not perfect, but excellent for me) This surgery and my new way of eating has certainly saved my life. Today I reached 50 pounds lost and I can't begin to tell you how much my life has changed.

Another DM1 problem is that I'm a very slow healer. I have 6 incisions and only two are completely healed after almost 2.5 months.
