My girl friend is T1 and is having Gall Bladder surgery this Friday. She has quite a large stone in her gall bladder so she needs the gall badder removed.

I was just curious if T1 diabetic will need to do anything special during the recovery period. Checking levels more often? Change in bolus amount?

Thanks for any info!

Mike? Is she on a pump or MDI?

Hi Mike! I had my gallbladder removed last September and it was done laproscopic. Just a few small incisions. It was supposed to be same day surgery and I should have been able to go home after surgery, but I wasn't handling the pain well so I stayed overnight. I was not very hungry or thirsty after the surgery and was given a soft diet for a few meals. I needed less insulin because I wasn't eating that well. I am T2 so I just decreased my insulin accordingly. Within a few days, I was back to eating regular food and the recovery period was short. I hope that everything goes well for your friend and I wish her a speedy recovery.
