What does everyone do with there diabetic meds prior to surgery? I take glipizide and metformin . Starting my pre op diet soon. I plan to check my sugar regularly but I can't imagine it being high as I am on a liquid diet only for 2 weeks. My doc just gave instructions to stop it the day before. I know my sugar will drop too low. What was everyone's orders for their diabetic meds . I just might have to get a second opinion.

I was on Metformin, Glyburide, and insulin (low dose). All were taken normally up to day of surgery with exception of the insulin, which was 1/2 reg dose the night prior. Since that time I have not taken any of the 3. I test regularly, even without the meds the first couple of weeks I was getting low readings (mid 50's to low 60's) and took glucose tablets. Since that time I have been hovering in the 90's.
