[QUOTE="Leo63, post: 1477109, member: 407025"] I am new to this forum. I had Whipple surgery 2 years ago for tumor in the head of the pancreas. Really tough surgery and took a long time to recover from. I have never been formally classed as diabetic or pre-diabetic. But I do measure my blood glucose levels. Up until about 3 months ago, my average fasting level was around 5.5, but recently this has been creeping up and is now around 6.5. Any advice on what is "normal" for someone following pancreas head removal. I am seeing my GP soon, but would be interested in hearing other people's experience or views before I see her. I follow a fairly low glycemic diet already, but I am not on any medication for blood sugar. Am I damaging my body with these highish levels of blood sugar and should I be talking to my GP about medication ? [/QUOTE]
