I have just had carpal tunnel surgery (scheduled for 8:00am) and the anaesthetist said that it did not matter what I did she was going to give me 4% glucose. Went under on 10.0 out on 14.2! |

Thanks guys for your responses, I'm not exactly how long I'll be out for but they said it could be up to six hours and ofcourse I suppose they're worried about me having a. Hypo or something. I did ask them to elaborate on why they said "no insulin" but I didnt feel as if the guy I spoke to really understood the basal/bosal insulin regime! |
