Re: Clear liquid diet and diabetes

Tricia:

First off we tell all patients to be on a clear liquid diet that has juice and regular jello, another words not a diabetic clear liquid for 24-48 hrs. Secondly if the pt is diabetic, I make sure to tell them to adjust their meds and check their blood sugars more regularly. I tell them to discuss dosing and diet with their PCP or Endo MD.
