[QUOTE="eddie1968, post: 708484, member: 108082"] I have had several colonoscopies and like your hubby was admitted the day before as I am diabetic too. He will be allowed lunch and will start drinking litres of Klee-Prep or Picolax to empty his bowels. He will also be monitored for his BGs regularly and put on an Insulin Sliding Scale to taper him down before the procedure. Beware the laxatives are very powerful and liquidize all your stomach and bowel contents rapidly and sometimes you can't even make the toilet. Best tips are be near the toilet bring a roll of toilet paper and lots of underwear if you have an accident lol. The colonoscopy is painless as they shoot you up with very strong painkillers like Fentanyl and sedate you usually with Midazolam. Hope hubby gets sorted. EDWARD [/QUOTE]
