Anesthetist .... surgery and slow insulin ....

To patients with type 1 diabetes who have undergone surgical intervention.

Has the anesthesiologist ask them to reduce the dose of prolonged action insulin to half that are normally administered the day before the next day undergo surgery?

Does this have logic?

Who had experience in this?

Greetings,

Well, I have passed twice and without problems.
Actually the problem is not having hypoglycemia before the operation, because they are usually delayed.
Last August I from 14 units, I put 10 units of basal on the day before, the operation was delayed 5 hours, so I took some sugar envelopes to overcome and voila.Sugar does not alter the body for an operation.

Hello.I have recently gone through a simple intervention, and I also reduced the slow insulin of that day in half.They told me that if before the operation (already in the hospital) I lowered the sugar, they could glucose by way.The purpose of reducing the dose of slow is to avoid hypoglycemia during fasting time prior to the operation (or during surgery, of course).

Hi Ruthbia and Carussa,

Thank you for sharing your experiences with me.I think it is really valuable to know your testimonies.Once I have gone through my operation, I will share my case and experience with you.

Thanks again and a cordial greeting

Today is the day of the intervention time 8:30 I currently have a free freelyle reading glycemia 223 I leave you a Nursing notice and tell me that nothing is done because they have to intervene.I thought I had a large device similar to a microinfusor capable of managing insulin+serum but it is not so ... meanwhile I am waiting ...: or

Also with stress it is normal to raise you ...
Don't worry, you'll see how everything goes well and goes fast.Luck!

Much encouragement.
Do not worry the team that intervenes will take care of you

Good luck.Everything will do well!

Thank you very much Carussa - Ruthbia.
Surgery well but glycemia looks like Russian mountains ...
The management system for insulin -dependent diabetic patients must be updated .... Invent another way ... for something the sensor can serve ...
I had to solve it by clicking (fast-operative) to reach a normal range Link "Style =" Max-Width: 300px;

I'm glad everything was doing well.I understand that the next dose of slow will be normal, right?
To reduce by half is what we call a protocol.I wonder if with a lower reduction, hypoglycemia could be avoided.It has been 12 hours out of range and correcting quickly, have you fallen in Hip?I am not familiar with these graphics

The next dose will be normal.I believe that hospitals should manage the surgery of type 1 diabetics in another way with a gadget similar to a pump that connects with a sensor capable of locking all the management before and after the post operative.

For now I have a glycymic graph that looks like a cat Link =" Max-Width: 300px;

Of course in the hospital you eat at all hours you have to be prepared less bad than Grogu is in charge of giving me appetite ... 🤪 <img alt = "" class = "img-fluid mb-3" src = "https: //www.diabetesforo.com/uploads/editor/1f/h2Owthra990s.jpeg "Style =" max-width: 300px;

Careful!Anesthesia takes 2 days to eliminate and produce hyperglycemia these 2 days.
It happened to me every time

I will be attentive to this detail.Ciao

I'm glad that surgery has gone well.Surely in a short time you already have blood glucose at correct levels.
Take care of yourself and recover now :)
