Hi are there any type 2 diabetics here that either had or will be getting banded? if so how are you or did you deal with the liquid diet being restricted from carbs and mainitaing healthy blood sugar levels I could use some help in dealing with mine thanks Sharon:help:

Sharon, I am a Type 2 diabetic - been on oral meds for 20 years or so - had been on 3 kinds at a time for the 2-3 yrs before wls. After being banded, I checked my sugar more regularly than I had been and watched it go down, down, down. I gradually cut back on my pills and within 3 mo. I was taking none at all. I am 16 mo. out from surgery, my sugar runs about 110 most of the time. But I am very compliant, I eat no sweets, no white carbs. Most of the people I know have had the same experience. I hope it works as well for you. Best wishes!!
