Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  I know your blood sugar rises after you have eaten. This was probally peak time. As for that number honey I have no idea. The kit I have is normal under 120. I have been meaning to check my own but never think to do so. Im sure someone else can advise you much better on this that myself. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | Kenya the normal range is between 60-120,it always goes up a bit after you eat usually no matter what u ate it is your body breaking it down. It can stay elevated for up to about 2 hours after eating, so dont worry the number you got was not real high anyway.........ok....... Kathy

Weight Loss Method - | Kenya, testing 138 is not high at all. You should test your blood sugar 1-2 hours after you eat.This will give you an accurate reading. In the morning your sugar should be below 110, after noon between 120-150, bed time is around the same. If you haven't eaten and your blood sugar was 138 then that would have been high.

| Super Moderator  | Criteria for diagnosis of diabetes (as stated in the ADA Clinical Practice Recommendations.) 1) Fasting (no caloric intake for at least 8hrs) plasma glucose from 126 and above. 2) Casual (any time of day) plasma glucose of 200 and above and symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) 3) 2hr plasma glucose level at and over 200 in the 75g oral glucose tolerance test. There are some finer points regarding the criteria above, but that will be confusing to you, so go by the above. Now, it's a known fact that with gastroplasty/gasterectomy (in other words, any surgery that makes your stomach smaller than its original size, be it for cancer, repetitve/refreactory ulcers or weight loss surgery) one of the secondary effects is temporarily raised blood sugar (higher than with normal stomachs) early after eating. Not sure if your surgeons explain this to you, but it's in medical textbooks, and we were taught this in med school. The quick rise takes place because food doesn't stay for 2-3 hours as in the regular stomach, so is passed through, and the sugars absorbed without delay. So long as it doesn't go up above the 200 level, and you don't have symtoms like abnormal thirst, fequent visits to the bathroom, or unexplained weight loss (  ) no need to worry.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Kenya, Take it first thing of the morning and see what it is. I am a diabetic, have been for 20 years. I was on insulin prior to sugery. My morning sugar is around 84 now. Prior to surgery it was around 130 in the am before breakfast. I haven't been on meds for over 4 months now. My sugar runs around 84 prior to meals and 2 hours after it ranges from 120 to 130. You should just keep a watch on it, if it keeps on worrying you --- get you doc to run a glucose tollerace test.
