type 2 and blood sugars going nuts

I am scheduled for RNY on December 6th and for the last three weeks my blood sugars have taken on their own "life" so to speak.  They have jump from the normal range to 500+ on and off; I have consulted my family doctor and he is considering changing me to insulin until my surgery.

Can anyone tell me what might be going on, any input would be greatly appreciated.

Stress can increase our blood sugars.  But maybe you're doing what I did at first.  Eat alot of the forbidden foods because I wasn't going to be able to after surgery.  What ever is causing it, the insulin will probably help.  I've been on the pre-op liquid diet for the past 8 days and I've been able to rid myself of three of my four diabetes medications, including insulin, so I hope that works for you.

I second what Lucy said about stress. I'm not sure if you have fears about going on insulin but my advice would be to do whatever you have to do to get your blood sugars leveled off before surgery.  Higher blood sugars can mean increased healing times.  I'm hoping that you can get this figured out...I'm sure you can't be feeling very well with those 500's .

Thanks ladies, still don't have it figured out but we are working on it.  Wish you both well.

so many factors can go into play to make your blood sugars climb. eat lower glycemic foods, so they don't spike your sugars, lower fat, so your not so resistant to the insulin you already have on board. make sure your not fighting any sort of infection, are you getting enough sleep. Are you drinking enough water to keep hydrated?

Yes I know your surgery isn't for a bit, but those are just some of the things that can cause your sugars to go up. with 500 bgs, you re risking your health, and i wouldn't wait to get some insulin on board. you don't want to have more complications or issues. you really want to get your health the best you can prior to surgery for that will improve healing.

I'm a type 1 and in 25 years of being diabetic, I have seen 500 less than a hand full of times Honestly!! I was very insulin resistant as well prior to my RNY.

Wish you luck
