I’m 6 days post sleeve and off all of my diabetes meds. My numbers are all over the place sometimes as high as 177. Is this normal? I was hoping to be “cured” but I’m getting worried.

Congrats on your surgery!

Give it time....You are only 6 days out. Dr's have told us for years to eat right and exercise to combat diabetes. This is exactly your new lifestyle. Many more healthy changes to come your way.

My A1c is now in the non diabetic range.

My doc took me off all the diabetic meds minus metformin. If my numbers are over 100 in the morning, I was told to take one tablet (i was taking 2 a day and 2 other meds). At first it was every other day now I can go about 4 days. I'm 6 weeks out since surgery. Talk to your Dr.

I was steered to have rny being a diabetic for the malabsorption reason..my numbers were all over the place the first 2 weeks,I was very frustrated,they got better,now im almost not a diabetic! I had surgery in November im down 104 lbs ,so keep at it..things will be better

Thank you. It’s 10 days post op and they’re up to 190 without any meds and I worry. Hoping they go down.

I was kept on a low grade med..still am taking one pill a day.. yeah you might want to check with your doctor..I wanted off metformin..I haven't taken it since surgery,but am still taking 1 glimipride a day..good luck

Thanks
