Wow ... that was very informative, thanks for the link.
When I had the surgery 6 weeks ago, it was either that or go on insulin. My diabetes had gotten so bad that all my oral meds just stopped working. I absolutely couldn't deal with the thought of giving myself shots everyday when I knew I could improve my health by having surgery. Right before surgery my blood glucose was always over 300 and that was WITH all the pills I was on (2,000 mg. Glucophage and 8 mg. Avandia everyday). Right after surgery it dropped to 180 WITHOUT the pills. 4 days after surgery it dropped to 130 WITHOUT the pills. I checked myself this morning as I always do, and it was 106. I am no longer Diabetic, but I continue checking my blood glucose levels "just to make sure" ... it's just unbelievable that my struggle with this disease is over. It does feel too good to be true. But thank goodness it IS true!
