Hi @Dippydolly,
Sorry to hear of your woes.
I think you need to see your GP or endo dr to discuss options.
Best Wishes !

How long ago was the surgery? That might affect numbers.

Don't forget it takes time for diet and exercise to reduce your BG levels. Are you on a low carb diet and if so how many carbs are you eating each day. We are all different, but I need to keep below 30 gm of carb each day or my BG rises. I do this by eating no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, citrus fruit and get all my carbs from green veg, salads, nuts and seeds. It's pretty restrictive, but I have learned to like my diet and I am now so much healthier in all respects. Oh and I eat all the dairy fat, meat fish and cheese I like and I still lose weight. I hope that is helpful.
