Stay on oral meds or switch to insulin pre-op

Hi, I'm scheduled for surgery July 28th. I'm a diabetic controlled with 3 meds. I met with the nutritionist yesterday and we talked about possibly going on insulin to manage my diabetes. She said that because I would have to be adjusting my meds so frequently as I start to lose weight that using insulin with a sliding scale would be easier to adjust and wean off. I go to see an Endocrinologist for the first time May 14th so I'll talk with him. I was wondering if anyone did this or has any advice regarding this issue. Thanks, Beth
