Insulin dependent having a colonoscopy

I have not had a colonoscopy, but I had an abdominal CT scan and had to go through a similar procedure for preparation.

The doctor suggested that I use apple juice if my blood sugar went low.

I needed to fast. So I didn’t take any meal boluses and even decreased my basal insulin by 1-2 units.

Ask your doctor to check what you should drink or eat if you go low.
