The doctors and residents there don't like the pump either and they'd never heard of the cgms in Jan. 2014. Maybe, they are doing better now. The hospital did have a CDE with a Master's degree in nursing science and an endo so they can be brought to heel with a big of persuasion. The "gas lady" and her confreres generally like patients to be high during surgery. Here, they also want the pump on almost no delivery, too. They never have injected insulin but they do test and the bg has never been above 14.0 before or after surgery. They do keep records, you know. Dianna K.

It was emergency surgery to repair broken ankle with a metal plate. There was a day's delay due to waiting for a 'f'ree' spot for the bone surgeon., during which time I 'starved'. Luckily I was on MDI at the time, so after surgery when eating again, I was managing my own diabetes care. I had a spinal injection for the surgery, so was 'awake' at the time, and as I said on long active Levemir so it didn't present any problems with extreme high BG's. My diabetes doctor came to check on me next day, and said I could manage all my own shots and dosages, so had no problems. The food was kind of blah, and as you say, lots of carbs. I just picked from amongst it the things I thought to be able equal to what I would have at home in carb content, and my BG's remained good the whole time I was in there, which was 3 or 4 days, I believe. Don't know what I would have done if I had my pump then. You probably would have been better off doing MDI for the week before and after surgery, at least you would have had coverage during the surgery with your long lasting insulin. What a trial it all was.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521472811124033618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745671905480665246.post-54373807562818746832015-10-16T11:56:37.055-07:002015-10-16T11:56:37.055-07:00Same for me too +Laddie with having previous surge...Same for me too +Laddie with having previous surgeries without all these gizmos. My last big surgery I just took my regular basal dose the morning of surgery, and took over once I was "with it". I had direct instructions from endo at preop ... with this hospital ... nothing ... until the day before I was released ... I was given a form to sign ... saying I was doing my own diabetes doctoring. LOL ... yes ... I'm a survivor ... hear me roar (and hospital has already called to ask about "room service" and I let them at least know about inappropriate carb portions for diabetics meals).FatCatAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066683693099915727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745671905480665246.post-25838583444216235032015-10-16T11:51:55.329-07:002015-10-16T11:51:55.329-07:00You are so lucky @demeanderings ....
