Dr. Nunn type 1 patients
Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone on here had their surgery in Michigan with Dr. Nunn... I've read some posts about type 1 diabetics that had post-surgery problems due to high blood sugar. Some have even talked about life-threatening DKA. Does the Barix facility in Michigan have what we need post-op ? And if so, does OHIP cover an extended stay if it's necessary ?

Can't speak on behalf of the program you are worried about. This is whatyou should do.
GET YOUR ENDO or PCP write up a surgical plan to handle your diabetes. if your on insulin, have a scale written for corrections figured out before hand. if your on the insulin pump, have your doctor write orders NOT to remove your pump.
I was in control of monitoring my diabetes and corrections once I was "awake" and things worked out just fine. Good luck
