Diabetes and RNY

Question
Hello,
I am 18 months post op from lap. RNY.  I have lost 110 pounds and now I have settled out at an ideal weight and I am maintaining.  I exercise (not as much as I should), and I watch what I eat.  I was having a lot of problems with tingling in the fingers and toes and having dizzy spells and even a couple of blacking out episodes.  After some testing I have been diagnosed with Diabetes, before my surgery diabetes was not on my radar, how is it that I have it now that I am healthy and eating right? I also am not sure how to figure out what I need to consume to keep it regulated since all the charts and other resources I run across are for a normal person on a normal eating program, I still have problems with some meat, but other then that I can pretty much eat all the normal foods but I don't know the amounts that I need to eat with the diabetes and the RNY.  Thank you for any help you can offer.  

Answer
Brandy,

How and by whom were you diagnoses with diabetes?

There is a more rare condition that can occur after RNY called nisidioblastosis - dizziness and blacking out can be symptoms of this and it is treated rather differently from diabetes. Do you know if they ruled this out?

In health,

Dr. Jacques
