[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1889511, member: 196960"] [USER=53120]@akindrat18[/USER] I think your team has referred you so you can take advantage of the bariatric teams help, which isn't always surgery. You get assessed by the bariatric psychologist for eating disorders and whether the op would be compatible for you. Throughout you are supported by the dieticians... who are now low carb savvy. My diabetic team advised me to try the 800cals after low carbing at less than 150carbs causes me palpitations and without my normally very effective metformin I've had to increase my insulin units. Which has gave me gained weight and has undone my hard work. So..... I'm current on the thinking of "if at first I don't succeed, try and try again". Hence this very low cal diet which is fairly low carb but definitely not 'no carb'. Unfortunately not just have I no metformin support but I have to take 3 tablets a day which are sugar coated for IBS. It's a bu#mer! Since starting 800cals I'm on reduced insulin units, already. I am having the op as I know the 800cals milk shake diets actually has put me in remission in the past (pre-diagnosis) and I know if I wasn't hungry all the time I'd skip through it. So easy to make a shake compared to leek sheeted lazanya etc. I hear what you say about work and I've found it much easier to start a new job as an injecting diabetic than being tablet dependant then insulin dependant. Staff don't often accept your extra need. Even though they should. Sounds like a bit staff training is needed. You can only look after yourself in such circumstances. It's not selfish but a necessity. Can your diabetic team not recommend better insulin routine? Mixed insulin before food? So before breakfast and before dinner? Testing at same time as insulin? I'm not medically trained so I cannot advise about your insulin but does your hospital appointment need cause problems at work? As you MUST attend your diabetic appointments. You will have far far more hospital appointments preparing for bariatric surgery mind. Might be best to try a good regime now as the team will insist on it? The team are a huge support thou which I feel you would benefit from. [/QUOTE]
