Which surgery did you have? I had sleeve 6 weeks ago and my blood sugars are still way too high.

Diane, I'm on insulin - long acting once a day and then regular at meal times. Insulin causes people to gain weight, and hold onto weight. I think one of the reasons the blood sugar is high is that during the night, my liver dumps fat and that raises the blood sugar. I'm sure it will go down over time. I wonder if my weight loss is affected by being on insulin. Anyway, I'm sure it will improve. I've learned that gastric bypass probably would have improved it a little better. I also have lots of insulin resistance.
Still glad the surgery is giving me a new lease on life.
