Type 2 Diabetic

My sugar is dropping. Dangerously low. Hard to keep it up without actually eating sugar. What are my REALISTIC option’s please.

    Type 2 here… My last shot of insulin was in my pre-diet phase. My sugar dropped like a stone after. I actually ended up back in the hospital two weeks after surgery with starvation ketoacidosis.

  • My levels have been perfect. Like I’m no longer a diabetic type perfect. I’m so happy. For now I still wear my Dexcom to help me monitor and and old school test to calibrate. It’s been great. Trust me

  • Are you a type 2 diabetic on medication? If so you may need to talk to your doctor about changing your dose or stopping your meds. This can often happen after surgery pretty quickly. Are you still in

@ChunkCat after my post op appointment my Bariatric doctor told me to only take my Ozempic if I stop losing weight.

I'm glad they straightened that out! Is your blood sugar being more stable now that the last dose has worn off? How are you feeling now? OMG I will be so glad to get off the Ozempic. ?

Yay!!!! That is a great win! I want to get rid of my diabetes with the surgery and reduce my overall meds for things too. It is encouraging to see you having results so soon! I know that has to feel good...
