Hi, quite new here but been type 1 for 35 years and always had good control. Got my gallbladder removed last week and a hernia repair, first time I’ve ever had surgery and my blood sugars seem to be all over the place, mostly high. Has anyone experienced similar following surgery and how long...

I'm glad you agree with me that it is annoying. Sometimes I ask myself what kind of person I am to be getting annoyed at something like this. But I have a busy life too. Each day I am up putting kids to school, walking the dog, going to work etc and have to cope with my own diabetes, never...
