[Diabetes-Talk] Suggestions for clear liquid diet

[Eileen Scrivani]

Sounds like the diet for a colonoscopy. I would recommend having juice or soda for the period you must prepare for the procedure and check your sugars more often than usual. Did they recommend cutting your insulin in any way or other diabetic meds? Even though your getting carbs (sugars) from the clear liquids you might find yourself running low since the high sugars don’t sustain for the length that solid foods with proteins & fats do.

Hi, all.


I'm going to have a procedure which requires me to be on a clear liquid 
diet for just over 24 hours.  The surgeon's office gave me a list of 
juices-- white grape, apple, and orange and lemon with no pulp.   but 
that's about it.  I also can't have anything red, green, or purple, so 
that leaves out most Jell-O.  I have several pills I regularly take and 
having a mostly full stomach eliminates stomach upset, etc.  I'm 
wondering what I should do to keep my sugar under control?  Yes, it's 
only a day, but the second day is the procedure, so I won't be eating or 
drinking anything then, either.


Thanks for the ideas.


Lisa
