Having diabetes does not mean every procedure requires the same preparation.
The plan can depend on the type and timing of the procedure, whether fasting is required, your current diabetes treatment and your individual health circumstances.
Before the procedure, clarify:
Medicines
Ask your treating healthcare professional how prescribed diabetes medicines should be managed around the procedure.
Insulin
If you use insulin, obtain individual instructions rather than changing or omitting doses yourself.
Fasting
Understand when you need to stop eating or drinking and how this relates to your diabetes plan.
Glucose monitoring
Ask whether monitoring needs to change before or after the procedure.
Relevant medical information
Make sure the healthcare team knows that you have diabetes and is aware of your current medicines.
At Kharghar Diabetes & Obesity Clinic, diabetes-related preparation for a planned procedure can be discussed according to individual treatment and clinical circumstances.
Do not make unplanned changes to diabetes medicines or insulin before a procedure without appropriate medical guidance.
