Surgery went good. Rusty (the nurse with insulin pump) was excellent. We compared pumps and exchanged tips. I showed him how to run the CGMS, he wanted to know in case something happened during surgery and I was unable to take care of. I ended up sleeping through the entire thing. I woke up at 67 this morning, so I actually suspended my pump and took a glucagon shot. The took me up to 147 by the time I got to hospital. By the time I got to pre op I was 112 and sugar was dropping so I did a temporary basal rate for an hour at 75%. I didn’t want to do to much of a reduction because I was afraid of going low. Turns out the reduction wasn’t enough and when I got out of surgery I was at 73. Got up to my room and the nurse asked me what I wanted to drink, I told them regular sprite, she told me it was policy not to give diabetics regular soda. Number 1 my blood sugar was dropping, number 2 artificial sweeteners cause my sugar to spike worse. They called Dr. Markham, the anethiaologist and he told them that if I said regular soda to give it to me as I knew what I was doing with my diabetes.
Right now my foot is throbbing though even elevated and on pain meds. I hope it eases soon.
