[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 1801685, member: 160898"] Hi [USER=35703]@BUZZ[/USER] I’m a T3c, insulin dependent and largely treated the same as a T1, but I don’t use a pump. I’ve had many surgeries/procedures. It’s good that you’ll have a chance to talk to the anaesthetist about your concerns. When I’ve been in surgery, I’ve either been given a glucogon injection (I remember one surgeon saying they “loved glucogon”!). On other occasions I was put on the “sliding scale” I.e. glucose drip alternating with fast acting insulin injection to stabilise my BG based on regular finger prick tests. I don’t have a recommendation for morning or afternoon (mine were often delayed/rescheduled) - please don’t get frustrated/stressed by unexpectedly long waits; emergency surgeries will take priority. I hope it goes well and you recover quickly. [/QUOTE]
