No it is still very high and I am having to take max dose of metformin to keep it below 150 fasting. An interesting note to your comment is that something has been wrong with me since last summer. Every blood work I have had done since last spring shows that I have high white blood cell count. In August my doc put me on Flagyl, immediately followed by Cipro, because I have had long term severe abdominal pain, so even though tests didn't show anything in my guts she was sure something was in there causing the pain and elevated white count. But my counts still stayed high. Then a few months ago I eliminated dairy and all grains except rice and my abdominal issues stopped. I am not running a fever and other than severe overall body ache I do not have any other pain locus like you would expect if something was infected. I just finished a run of Keflex and will see what my counts are next blood work. The docs are sure something is infected but we cannot figure out what.
I know Im a little late... but any type of illness or surgery can elevate blood sugar until you are completely healed. The elevation makes it difficult to heal... so youre in a catch 22. Im interested in knowing if you ever got it under control?
I was an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic. I also had to take 2000 mg a day of metformin.
After my RNY, I went into remission. I have lost 186 pounds and no longer have to take any medications. My last A1c was 4.9.

Sometimes, I come across new studies that offer up exciting information on how natural remedies used for centuries are being used in new ways to fight back against common illnesses. A recent example: mindfulness, blood sugar levels, and your risk for prediabetes.
I have a little confession to make: I treated myself to a donut this morning…and it was delicious.
Eating a sugary treat feels good. I love the taste and sensation of eating a piece of cake or candy bar. I bet you do, too.
But every time you eat these snacks—or eat anything with carbohydrates—your blood sugar level jumps. It’s a completely normal reaction, and your body knows what to do with it. However, if you’re consistently eating large amounts of sugar-laced treats or carbohydrates, you could be exposing your body to irregularly high blood glucose levels.
Thanks so much for the information. I've never heard of that but i will research it today and speak to my Dr. about it.. Definitely worth a try. ... thanks again! !!
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.
Diabetes has to be healed as soon as it is possible. It is a very serious problem indeed. There are some new methods like stem cells therapy for diabetes which allow to treat it really effective. Go to a doctor, that is the real solution
Thanks Ruth that's awesome. I can't wait to get off these meds. Im well on my way.....
I was Type 2 Diabetic and couldn't lose the weight. After having RNY I started my medications and crashed...after that I never took any more meds again however...now I'm hypoglycemic... sometimes which I think it's worst...lol....ooh well ............but I did get "rid" of it to some degree. Depending on your type and history you may or may not. Your doctor or surgeon can best answer that question.
HI Everyone,
I wanted some opinions of people who have been there so here it goes. I really want the sleeve surgery as I can't seem to get this weight of now at age of 55. It's not like when you were younger. plus it all came on from bloody medication which ticks me off but whatever. my question is whether I c an even qualify for sleeve surgery. my bmi is not quite 35. my blood work has me 1 point away from being diabetic but not officially.my. cholesterol is over 300 with the LDL rate over 500 (hahaha walking heart attack). don't know if I have apnea but I snore and wake myself up.I still get mild gall bladder attaches even though I had the damn thing remove 3 years ago.! Also i have psoriatric arthritis; fibromyalgia; and some pressed and bulging discs in neck and back. Since the last 10 lbs creeped up on me i can't feel my left fingers. finally the feet hurt all the time oh and what this has to do with it I don't know but I've jihad chronic bronchitis for months and i sweat after 2 minutes of moving around even in freezing wea
Oh let's not all forget depression and total lack of desire for anything romantic or set.
Finally diabetes and coronary illness runs in the famulky
So given that I'm not quite diabetic and just under 35, I was wondering if I could get some feedback from people as to how you all think I would do as far as getting an approval. ?
Are t even the slightest flexible with the bmi or should I just put on tge last 4 pounds to get there. I'm that close.
Lastly I am in medicaid Horizon HBO plan if anyone know a good bariatric surgeon in NJ (I am in Monmouth county).
Thank you all so much for hearing me out and any advise will be appreciated.
Best regards
Kathy
