Diabetic Questions

Hey guys!

So my surgery is scheduled 10/25/18 (pending BCBS approval , yikes) but I just had a couple question. Idk if anyone out there is like me so I'll just ask lol

I'm a diabetic w/ high blood pressure, high cholesterol, retinopathy and neuropathy and ohmygosh anything else medically related to diabetes I'm pretty much the poster child for. Anywho. Question is, how long did it take for ya'll whom have this kind of illnesses to be off insulin or blood pressure medicine etc..? If it wasn't instant like right after surgery how was it monitored ? I'm just concerned.

Thanks for listening!
