I'm scheduled for surgery Monday and will have to take IV steroids before and afterwards for a few days because I'm very allergic to the medicine used for the test and dangerously so, but I have to have it.
I don't know what to do since I do know steroids really run my BG, and I'm on no meds for diabetes. Do I just eat as I normally do and just ignore the test results until it is out of my system? Any idea of how long that may be?
Any wisdom here? I think I searched the archives and found nothing of much help there.
I'm also somewhat stressed by the whole thing so that probably will influence my numbers for a bit.
