Blood Sugar Levels Normal

Posts Tagged ‘surgery’

My dad has type 2 diabetes, and recently had open heart surgery, he was on 2 different pills before the surgery to manage his diabetes, but they weren’t working. After the surgery his dr put him on insulin along with the pills. His dr started lowering his doses of insulin because his sugar levels were running way to low (in the 50′s overnight). The last 2 days he hasn’t had any insulin, the highest number he’s had has been 244 (after eating), but drops within an hour. My question is since he just stopped taking the insulin, how high should his blood sugar get before we start worrying about it?
