• If you wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor, you must remove it for all CT scans, MRIs and X-rays.

Night before procedure

o Test your blood sugar at dinner and bedtime and whenever you feel

that you might be experiencing low blood sugar or very high blood

sugar.

o See “How do I adjust my medication before the procedure?” section

below.

• Morning of the procedure

o Test your blood sugar first thing in the morning of the procedure. Continue to check your blood sugars every 1-2 hours up to your procedure and whenever you feel that you might be experiencing low blood sugar or very high blood sugar.

o See “How do I adjust my medication before the procedure?” section below.

• If you have a low blood sugar

o You must treat all low blood sugars. If your blood sugar is less than

70mg/dL, drink 1⁄2 cup of clear sugar-sweetened beverage such as apple juice, Sprite or 7UP (all liquids must be clear). Recheck your blood sugar in 15 minutes. If your blood sugar is still less than 70mg/dL, drink another 1⁄2 cup of clear sugar-sweetened beverage.

o If your blood sugar is extremely low (less than 40mg/dL), your family or friends should help you by using glucagon and calling 911 if needed. Make sure that you also call 5203825972 to notify the procedure team.

*If you need to treat a low blood sugar within 2 hours before your procedure, call to inform your procedure team. Your procedure may need to be rescheduled.

• See “Pre-Procedure Instructions” above for instructions on what to do the

  night before your procedure.

• When drinking sugared beverages or the bowel prep, you may need less

  insulin to cover the carbs you are drinking. This is because sugary liquids will leave your system more quickly than solid foods and you will be drinking these liquids slowly throughout the day. If you take insulin with food, give 50% (half) of your usual dose for the liquids you are drinking that have carbs.
