I was to have surgery Monday am so abstained from food and drink as directed, prior to going into theatre my sugar level was 7, 4 hours later post 3 hours in surgery my level was checked again and came out at 15.2 how can this be.
I’m type 2 and take metformin and gliclazide
Diabetes is a hormonal disease and any abnormal situation like operations and sickness are pushing your bsl up. excitement and grief will do it too. this is what my endo told me.
Stress on your body from surgery. I had a good morning reading and they wouldn’t leave Day Surgery because it climbed. Also flying back from Europe got jet lag, did not drink enough and being dehydrated my reading went up to 18. All explainable events.
You had surgery. That is a major stress on your body. That always happens after a procedure or surgery for most people. Don't stress out about it. It will come down.
Hi Legless 7397 i find that if i'm stressed my sugar goes through the roof. maybe you have the same problem as I do! just saying. cheers mate.
Bodily stress
