I wasn't given any steroids as far as i'me aware anyway but I have been told that the morphine liquid has glucose in it , I've stopped taking that and the other painkillers and the pain is what you would expect and is liveable , I just hope it doesn't get any worse . my bgs have now come down to comfortable 7 although i'me still having to double my insulin to maintain it . Thanks for the replyI've got no idea, but just wondered if you might have been given steroids during the op, as this would raise blood sugar. Hope you soon recover from the op, and bloods come down. Take care.
thanks for your reassurance , I was administering my own insulin and had to sign a form after the op to say I was taking control myself , they were actually a bit worried when I said I was giving myself 2-3 units extra, if they had known it was more like 8-10 units I don't know what they would have thought . 36 hours after the op and I woke this morning with a respectful 8 and it had gone up to 12 a couple of times during the night which I am happy with , hopefully I can start reducing insulin and eating some more carbs soon .i have had surgery with anaesthetic a few times over recent years and for me it was absolutely true that my shoogs were stubbornly high for at least 36 to 48 hours post surgery .......thankfully i was able to self administer insulin post surgery and at least mitigated highs above 14 to 21 MMOL
