I am 2 weeks out, had RNY 12/14/09 and my blood sugar's are running in the low 200's. My surgeon took my off of insulin and metformin. Will the numbers slowly regulate, and go down, or shoud I be concerned? Have an appointment with Surg. in 1 week and primary care physic. in 3 weeks. Otherwise I am doing fantastic (other than tired of protein shakes, but that is manageable). Help
I would definitely see PCP as soon as possible. Mine were running in the high 100s, low 200s and my A1C had risen from 7.8 to 8.5 just in the 3-4 weeks following surgery. I back on some medication (absolutely could not tolerate the metforming postop) but I'm on insulin and Glucotrol. I'm hoping I can decrease or discontinue these in the future but for right now gotta have them. At least I do have blood sugars in the very low 100s with these meds and before they were in the 200s even with much higher doses of insulin. I think we are not one of the lucky ones who get rid of the diabetes immediately.
