Sorry for such a topic but ...
I'm 60 and have been called in for a colonoscopy. I'm told I need to go on a low residue diet for 5 days beforehand which seems to consist mostly of clear soups. Having the colonoscopy doesn't both me that much but I have no clue how to handle that sort of diet. I'm 6'3", fairly well built and reasonably fit. I'll admit I rarely test my blood sugars but they're usually fairly stable.
If it was for a slightly shorter period then I could probably just go without eating but 5 days is pushing it. Suggestions for how to take insulin for that sort of diet?
Mike
