It's likely some of the stress of surgery. I don't know how far out you are from surgery, but you are probably consuming calories more frequently now since it's the only way to get all of your protein in. Are you checking your carbs (and not just your sugar content)? Carbs will elevate your blood sugar, so if you are having milk, soups, anything that has any carbs in it, that could be doing it also. Also, 140-170 is not very high post surgery. Most doctors with insulin dependent patients would rather you run a little bit higher after surgery so that you don't have to chase lows. It's hard in the beginning after surgery to treat a low because of your reduced stomach capacity. Give it some time and it will likely settle down, but I would be very careful that you don't take too much short acting insulin.
When was your surgery?
My sugars since surgery have been anywhere from 140 - 170, I don't get it??? My protein shakes have less than 1 gram of sugar, nothing else I'm having has sugar. My doctor has me taking my R insulin on the low sliding scale (which is only 1 to 2 units). Pre surgery I would take about 20 -30 units if my sugar was that high to get me down to 90 - 100 range. I started taking more insulin because I think after 17 years of living with T2D I know how to control my sugar better than my surgeon. I'm not worried about getting back in range, as I know how to control it with my insulin, but why are my sugars high???

How have you type 1's reached your goals? How many carbs are you taking in a day? I'm not happy with my weight loss and looking for new ideas. I'm having trouble finding advice from my surgeon or nut with this combination of a sleeve and being a type 1.
I'm a type 1 for 20 years and on a pump. How have you all lost so much. I'm stuck at 50 lbs almost 1 year out. How many bolusable carbs are you consuming? I'm having difficulty finding info on type 1's and advice and help for the surgery. Seems everyone thinks we are just uninformed type II's. So frustrated that I can't lose any more weight. What have you done to be successful?
Since starting drinking coffee at age 5 (now 59 yrs)...I'm not going to give it up...even though I've tried to...My doctor wants me to because the caffiene can cause dehydration in WLS folks...so...I now drink just one cup a day...often adding protein powder to it to up my intake of protein...but I off set it by drinking extra water during the day...He's happy as long as I don't show signs of becoming dehydrated...so allow yourself a cup...but then make sure you get additional water during the day to off set the caffiene...good luck!
Thanks a million I'll try just about anything at this minute.

I use unsweet almond or coconut milk - maybe 1/2 cup and add water to mix with my proteins. Or use jus****er. I learn that I need fat with my proteins or I may crash as any way. I use whey isolate.
