RNY CURED MY...

Hi Jeff
Non diabetes blood sugars spike after meals and periodically also.  A diabetic's problem occurs when the blood sugar doesn't settle back down, or plunges too low.  It looks like yours went right where it was supposed to when it settled at 111.  You're still healing and your body is going through alot of stress. 

Your right Lucy. I was a little naive thinking that my sugar would never to above 120 mg/dl ever again. If it does spike up, so far it has been settling down to the 90 to 120 range. I should be grateful for that and be patient with my progress.

I hope I'm as fortunate as you because this is exactly why I am having RNY.  Congratulations.

Have you researched the DS as well? It has even higher rates of resolution of type 2 diabetes, and that resolution is statistically more durable in the long term than that of the RNY. The DS isn't right for everyone, but everyone does deserve to make a fully informed decision.

I did research the DS but feel more comfortable with the RNY. 

metformin works best when it has built up in the body over a 3 week period. It's not labeled for treatment of sudden sugar fluctuations.

Now, stress, infection, dehydration, sleep deprivation can all cause insulin resistance. And typically with type 2 diabetics there is already strong resistance on board.

Always keep an eye on the bg bugger - keep on top of your a1c's, and it doesn't hurt to periodically test your sugars especially when your not feeling right.

Although I know my diabetes will never go away, I always caution folks.
