Insulin Dependency
I need some advice from people that may have used insulin before bariatric surgery. I'm wanting to know how long after surgery you still needed insulin, and was there a time when your blood sugars went a bit "out of whack" post surgery...a time when they went back up somewhat after discontinuing insulin.
I was VERY insulin resistent before surgery...was taking 170 units of Lantus per day, plus Humalog, Symlin, and two oral medications. Since surgery I am off everything but the Lantus (Yay Yay Yay) . I wonder how long I will have to use it. I had discontinued it for a time, but got sugar readings back up above 150 which is too high, and which, oddly, makes me hungry. Its a strange syndrome.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks for everything
Sharon
