If you need stronger medications (even just as a temporary measure), the easiest option is to choose one from the sulfonylurea class, which your doctor is also familiar with (Gliclada, Diaprel, Amaryl, NovoNorm). You can arrange in advance for your doctor to prescribe a few boxes, and if your blood sugar does turn out to be higher than you fear, you can take these medications in addition to Aglurab for at least a week or two after surgery, until you\u2019re back to your normal level of activity.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m currently taking Aglurab tablets, 2 x 1000 mg.I&#8217;m worried about how I&#8217;ll be able to control my blood sugar after the surgery, when I won&#8217;t be able to move around and will probably be on a diet as well.
