I had my gallbladder removed about three years ago so almost nineteen years after being diagnosed as a T1. My surgeon had me admitted so that the surgery was done inpatient because of being a diabetic, not as outpatient as the surgery is most often done. I was not using an insulin pump at the time so I cannot answer the question as to whether or not they will allow you to keep yours on or not. But I do recommend getting your endo team involved as when my surgery was done I had just moved and had not seen my new endo yet. Instead the hospital had their hospitalist in charge of my care which caused an extra day stay in the hospital as he let my BG drop an hour before surgery was scheduled and the anesthesiologist would not put me under, can’t say that I blame him either since I wouldn’t have. But according to my surgeon most all of his patients that he has done a gallbladder removal on that were diabetics typically are admitted the day of surgery spend the following night and are released the following day.
