[acb-diabetics] having surgery, colonoscopy, or other illness/procedure requiring little or no food intake

[Barbara Mattson]

Recently I came close to having to have surgery and started wondering how an 
insulin dependent diabetic would manage since having surgery usually 
requires no food intake on the day of the surgery. Can anyone enlighten me 
as to what I would have had to do or what the hospital might have done if 
I'd had to have surgery?
