I was diagnosed pre-diabetic, which was one of the reasons I got my butt in gear to get the surgery.

Anyway, I hadn't taken my blood sugar since the surgery and I took it one day this week it was 130! It was never that high before... when I took it regularly before, it ranged from 110-120. I wonder if it's the low calories?

Any thoughts? Could I be getting worse with the blood sugar and CLOSER to diabetes even with the weight loss?????

When did you take your blood sugar? Was this first thing in the morning before eating? I hope that it was just a fluke. I have checked my blood sugar a few times since banding and only once was it higher than I expected. I can't even at this time explain why it was. I would say recheck it first thing tomorrow morning before breakfast and see what it is. If it is still high, call your doctor on Monday. I hope that everything turns out ok.

I have type 2 diabetes and have not taken any oral medication since my surgery. I was put on a sliding scale (insulin shots) in case my sugar spiked after surgery but I have not had to give myself and shots. My sugar ranges from 100 to 150 depending on when I test it because of course it gets higher after you eat. My doctor gave me a list and if my sugar got over 200 then I would have to give myself some insulin. I would not worry about it unless your sugar starts getting over 200 and staying there. Before I was diagnosed I had an average blood sugar of 350 over a couple months (which is scary) but since the surgery it has been great.
