[QUOTE="Energize, post: 2020054, member: 28960"] All very worrying! I'm going into hospital for surgery under General Anaesthetic tomorrow morning. I am to arrive by 7am so will have to leave home 6am. Instructions are not to take Glipizide tomorrow morning, to fast from 12mn. So, I'm anticipating my blood glucose levels to escalate and, by the time they check them, I'll not be happy to see the result! Again, as [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] mentioned, they don't want glucose levels to drop too low. When I mentioned my Glucose level would go up in the morning without Glipizide, the nurse said it was easier to control if high as opposed to low. Personally, I think this is very unfair, and unfortunate when one takes so much effort to keep glucose levels within normal parameters etc when they clearly treat you in this way. They are, presumably, playing 'safe' from their own point of view. Also, so many HCPs seem to have no idea of what 'good control' etc is about, and the importance of it. It'll be interesting to see how my blood glucose behaves tomorrow. I have Libre sensor which I'm hoping they don't insist I remove. I'll consult with anaesthetist before agreeing to remove it but hopefully s/he will be happy to keep it in situ ;) [/QUOTE]
