High blood sugars after surgery?
on 7/29/11 12:56 am - Woodbridge, VA
Had sleeve surgery 16 March, I'm diabetic 2. My sugar levels went sky high and I was awaken every hour by nurse checking my sugars, had a few insulin injections. Was scared because I'm not on insulin and had no idea this could happen.
My emotions have been all over the place, crying hard than mad than upset. Had carpal tunnel surgeries a few years earlier and was fine but my diabetes has progressed since. Wish my surgeon had to,d me there was a possibility of going into diabetic shock so I woukd have been prepared. However, I immediately phoned my endocrinologist immediately after leaving the hospital and was told this happens and my hormones are going crazy which has caused the crazy mood swings. My surgeon has not been helpful at all. Will follow up with my endocrinologist.
