No you can't, I went low so had some liquid glucose, it's the same as hypo stop but tastes a lot better. No fluids or food due to the possibility of vomiting or choking. Liquid glucose can be found in the baking isle of any supermarket.Thanks everyone!
Only one issue I can think off... does the "fasting before op" rule means that I CAN have juice if I go low before the op?
I'm saying about a situation before I get to the hospital, so more than 2h before the surgery itself. I'm pretty sure I'll pee the juice out before getting the GA.No you can't, I went low so had some liquid glucose, it's the same as hypo stop but tastes a lot better.

The answer is still noI'm saying about a situation before I get to the hospital, so more than 2h before the surgery itself. I'm pretty sure I'll pee the juice out before getting the GA.
So what did it say about liquids?Mine is supposed to be early, I'm supposed to arrive at 7am. So they said no food after midnight. That's not too bad, just skipping breakfast
Nothing, just "fast after midnight".So what did it say about liquids?
Oh and as another thought everyone is told to arrive at X hour so you might find 5 others waiting as wellMine is supposed to be early, I'm supposed to arrive at 7am. So they said no food after midnight. That's not too bad, just skipping breakfast
I'm getting the op done privately. For the NHS doc I would have to wait for a second review scheduled for end of December. Then get referred to the surgery and wait for the date. I'd have to quit my job beforehand because I would go blind...
The doc I saw for the first time said that the cataracts "may disappear" so she wanted to wait... We can just manage to pay for the op so I decided to go for it. I'm getting a more advanced type of lenses as well, so may not need glasses so much after it.Ahhh yes' I remember when you first posted about the cataracts, that was ages ago !I didn't think they would make you wait that long on the NHS considering your age and occupation !
Signy
Lol Cataracts do not disappear. Great news about the advanced lenses though. If you have sedation rather than GA it will work out a lot cheaper for you as well I would have thought.The doc I saw for the first time said that the cataracts "may disappear" so she wanted to wait...

Scoff not. Cataracts do resolve. My surgeon is the head eye surgeon at the hospital and also the liaison with the diabetic unit in the same hospital. She said that relatively recent cataracts can and do resolve with improvements in glycemic control, but that for long standing cataracts it is unlikely.Lol Cataracts do not disappear. .

Sorry. :-(My cataracts are very new, they appeared right after diagnosis. My bg has improved, hba1c is perfect, cgm says 90% "in target". And they keep getting worse. Each Monday at work I can see less and less
Same with my cataracts, except in my case my glycemic control is ****.My cataracts are very new, they appeared right after diagnosis. My bg has improved, hba1c is perfect, cgm says 90% "in target". And they keep getting worse. Each Monday at work I can see less and less
I just want to see properly againSorry. :-(
