I'm to the point where I eat a little different than the diet right after surgery, so I don't experience a lot of lows...my blood sugar is pretty consistent. I'm also pregnant, so I am able to eat more carbs now.
However, I have had lows and I can very much feel them. My hunger sensation never came back, so I have to remember to eat usually, and if I forget (never thought that would happen!) I get a headache and if it goes too long, I'll go into a sugar low with the shakes and that fuzzy feeling in the brain.

Wow that's awesome! !!! l can't wait to tell the same story. .
Let me ask u a question, when your sugars are low now, can u feel it as u did before you lost all the weight?
Thanks Allray, I needed to hear some encouraging
Words regarding the surgery. ...
I was a diabeti****il I had RNY. I'm almost 3 years out and just had my annual blood work - my A1C is 4.6. I've maintained a 200 pound loss.
For context, I am almost 32, and prior to surgery I'd been a diabetic for about 7 years on Metformin.

I just found out 2 weeks ago that I was Type 2. I was at my last appointment and was meeting with the anesthesiologist and he said that my pre op testing revealed my sugars were up so my surgery has been on hold until everything levels out. They have told me that the symptoms of diabetes will most likely be gone, and any meds will likely be discontinued as well. So, I'm thinking you may be in luck with the surgery!!
Wow that is awesome I look forward to telling this same story. I am a diabetic and on blood pressure medicine. I'm thinking about having the gastric sleeve as well. Have u had any funny side affects or did the surgery affect your diabetes or sugar levels at the time. I appreciate any advice u care to share....
Found out one year ago I'm a Diabetic. Having a really hard time losing this weight.
Do you all think the gastric sleeve will reverse my diabetes. Does any one have any
success stories or advice for me. I will really appreciate it.....
I am three months post-op and unfortunately for me, my neuropathy has not gone away. I have suffered from it for ten years, so that may be the problem. About a year before my surgery I was put on insulin injections and I am still on Humalog and Levemir, though at lower doses than before surgery. I was taken off Metformin immediately following surgery, plus other meds like Lisinopril and Lipitor. I do feel that my neuropathy has gotten much worse since the operation. Before, I was taking 800mg of Gabapentin 4 times a day and now I have to also take Percocet 7.5 four times a day just to make the pain tolerable, especially at night when it seems to be at its worst.

A healthy diet is extremely important for anyone, but it’s especially important for diabetics. Many foods we consume are turned into glucose (sugar), which the body uses for energy during the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. When the pancreas fails to produce the hormone insulin, blood sugar cannot get into the body’s cells.
