Diabetes

[Thea1965 25]

Since my surgery Oct 14th, my diabetes has been staying between 130 and 155. I checked it today and it was 222. I am so upset. I have been under a lot of stress the past few days. Would that cause it to go up that much? Anyone else do this and what did you do

Yes it would. The stress of your surgery and other stress could elevate it.

We're you taken off all diabetes medicine post surgery?

Yes I was. The evening after my surgery I haven't needed anything.

They told me if I had three days of high sugars, to call the office because meds may be adjusted/added etc. did they give you any meds or guidance for what to do if you had a high sugar reading?

My suggestion is to get a hold of either your primary doctor or surgeons office. How often do you check your bs? I check twice a day once in am which is a fasting result of like 80. And once before bed time. I was off metformin immediately after surgery. You diabetes should get better or disappear. I had surgery June 14th 16 and I had labs done from my primary doc to check the usual stuff and she wanted a A1c..my a1c before surgery was 6.4. Now it is 5.2. I do get worried sometimes cuz my blood pressure runs low now too. I have been off blood pressure meds for about 2 months and it's running normal. Example is 93/71. Anyways I better get off of this. Goodnight
