Insulin and pre op diet

Hi everyone, signing in from Australia. I am having my sleeve done on 15th November, so I will be starting my pre-op diet on 2nd. My worry is that I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin twice a day, along with oral medication. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to juggle the low carb diet with medication? I work full time, so the two weeks pre surgery I will be at work with only my assistant knowing that I am having this procedure. I guess I'm just really worried of hypos in public or throwing my bgl out too far. I don't normally adjust my insulin against my readings, I'm on Novomix 30/70, 25 units am and 28 units pm as well as Jardiamet oral twice a day. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • I was sleeved on 9.7.17 type 1 diabetic on a insulin pump. It really takes a lot of juggling. I still have many lows and adjust daily. I was told by my surgeon to do what I always did if I have a low.

I was sleeved on 9.7.17 type 1 diabetic on a insulin pump. It really takes a lot of juggling. I still have many lows and adjust daily. I was told by my surgeon to do what I always did if I have a low. I take my pump off when it’s low and have a carb. It doesn’t take much after surgery. Good luck
