Hello Bandster family~!

Right now I'm taking Glipizide twice a day and Glucophage 850mg 3 times a day.

I am on the second day of Pre-Op diet. Yesterday my sugar was 167 and this morning it had step down to 152. I have 10 more days to go before I became a fully adopted bandster kid!

My doctor is thinking about putting me on insulin after surgery. I'm hoping that I wouldn't have to do that. Hopefully with my sugar # going down and down, it would stop her insulin idea.

Sorry I'm blabbing, so long story short, if you could share your morning sugar # Pre and Post band with me, I would really appreciate it!

thanks!

I have been a diabetic for 10 yrs. Take 3 insulins and 2000mg Metformin a day. Before pre-op, my blood sugars stayed very high...200-300. Once I started the pre-op diet, BG's dropped, sometimes even too low. Now that I have been banded for 3 wks, I take less insulins and metformin. My morning BG's are usually around 120-150. The Dietician (also a Diabetes nurse) said that's ok.

The more weight loss and exercise we do throughout our journey, will determine how quickly we can kick these meds to the curb!

Good luck!!

Yeah for you Pam! That's excellent! I am looking forward to getting off my Glyberide! My fasting blood sugars are coming down as well after 4 days on pre-op diet... but still want them lower! Down to 150ish...
