Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 , When feeling sick be sure to do a glucose monitor test before you consume any thing like food, drink or drugs, Then you will know how many carbs you can tolerate without shooting your blood sugar sky high.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 , Not Harry here, but when you're ill or in your case, following a medical procedure, don't worry about a few days where your blood sugars and control in general aren't what they should be. Serious complications caused by diabetes happen after many years of poor control. I'd suggest checking your blood sugars more often, and if you are really high (whatever this is for you), take some extra Humalog. IF you're unable to eat, cut back on your insulin. But check to see what your numbers are, and make adjustments based on the numbers. Again, if food will be a problem, cut back on the insulin.
