1 week post-Po eating very little and my blood sugar is still high - fasting

Are you still taking your medicine? I still took my diabetes meds until I was told not to by my Dr.

as you stated you are only a week out, give it a little time for your body to adjust. IF you are talking about an A1C blood sugar test it could take a little while to see a change as it looks at basically a three month window of your average blood sugar.

Your body is healing from surgery. This will play havoc on your blood sugar levels. Give it a little time.

Hi I feel your concern which is why I'm posting today as well I've been battling with diabetes Now for 25 years and I take 5 injections per day. Somehow I am looking for immediate gratification ok a cure. I really just want to stop taking injections immediately but from reading the posts I see that I'm living in my imaginary bubble however I'm still working on patients and hopefully the surgery will help me

The nurses told me that the surgery and healing process will cause blood sugar to be higher than normal. It will come down in time.

Same boat. In fact, I had the sleeve surgery mainly to control my sugar. I was disappointed the first week because it was still over 200 but I learned from previous ways of eating, that it takes a few weeks to lower. Don't get discouraged! It WILL come down. I was on metformin, Victoza, and glipizide before surgery. I took myself off the victoza and glipizide but still take metformin. My sugars are always good and I will find out my a1c in August.

Good things come to good people.
