[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2457862, member: 372207"] Sounds like you're juggling an awful lot of issues, "not fair!" is my gut reaction. (Which isn't helpful at all.) Starting insulin isn't helpful with weight, although it's not a given you'll gain. Staying low carb will of course help with this. Having BG's in the high teens and 20's will be an issue for your operation as well, as this impairs wound healing and makes you more susceptible to infection. :( Have you lost enough weight to be eligible for the OP now? Have you by any chance been put on steroids to help with the cancer? That would push your BG up. You don't automatically lose your license when using insulin, most insulin users are allowed to drive, although you have to inform the DVLA. [/QUOTE]
