blood sugar

After my surgery, the Dr. took me off of my diabetic medicine except for my fast acting insulin which is now at a lower level. I go to bed and my blood sugar is ok but in the morning it is now high. I do go to my diabetic Dr. in a few days. But I am not eating anything with sugar, my liver is making it.
 
I hope your able to come off of everything completely and things level out for you soon! How is your recovery so far? I hope your feeling better now that you are a few weeks out!
 
My recovery so far is good. I am 2 weeks out and back to work. My blood sugar hasn't leveled out yet. If it is high when I eat and I take any insulin, it then goes too low later in the day. I can't seem to win. But tomorrow I see my diabetic specialist so hopefully she can get me balanced.
 
I seen my diabetes Dr. today. She changed / added back in some of my medicines temporary for a few weeks. She thinks I should be off my medicines by next month, just need to settle in. I sure hope she's right. I had the surgery specially for the diabetes.
 
I had surgery for my diabetes on May 28, 2019 and so far my blood sugars are not coming down. I am not on any diabetic medications right now and I have a 6 week check up in 2 weeks. How long before my blood sugars come down? Or maybe they wont. That is the reason I went through all of this.
 
Welcome to the group. One important question is, what are you eating? Is the food that you are eating on this phase of the diet food that contains sugar? Aside from that I don't think anyone here can answer your question.
