oh wow! thank yoU! i am very nervous about not having a base line of insulin. however my doc asures me that he is more comfortable doing it via shots than a pump, it doesnt bother him if i get 10 shots a day lol  (personally i think every doc that deals with diabetics needs to know pump 101 and 102 lol )
i hope to be on my pump a few days after the surgery.   i take around 80-100 units.. however my basel is only 26 of those units. 

hopefully everythign goes smooth and i dont end up in DKA :D

congrats!! that is wonderful news!!!

Proud of you Cowboy!

The symptoms you describe don't sound like they are related to diabetes/glucose levels, especially if your level was 105, which is neither high nor low enough to cause symptoms (unless your body had been used to running with high, like 150+, levels all the time, but if you were only on 500mg metformin daily, I highly doubt that was the case). It sounds to me more like possibly low blood pressure. Maybe you could get a home blood pressure cuff to check your BP when you have this sort of episode?

 went to see my primary care doctor on July 5th.  It was my first visit to see her since my surgery.  I got my lab results back last week.  My A1C (three month blood sugar test) result was 5.5% which puts me in the category of a normal person who doesn't have diabetes.  Not bad considering I haven't taken any medication since the day I got home from the hospital after having my gastric bypass.  Just another reason for the morbidly obese to have this life-saving surgery.
