Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 , Type II Diabetes is a common co-morbidity! I was diagnosed before knee surgery 2 years ago! Dr. Ren seemed to have no problem with the fact that I'm on 2500 mg. of glucphage plus glynase. Just check with your surgeon as to when you have to stop taking the medication before surgery.

I've been waiting since November for my surgery and finally got a date for May 18th. The worst thing happened -- on my pre-op blood work, my sugar was high and my doctor said I was a full-blown diabetic and immediately put me on pills and sent me to diabetes awareness class. My dillema is that now I don't think my surgeon will operate until my diabetes is under control. Does anyone have diabetes and having this operation? The surgeon I'm seeing in scheduling in September now and I don't want to wait. Thanks for giving me some advice. K. P. S. My surgeon is Dr. Vanguri in Baltimore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
