Hi,
Looking for some advice please. Partner is late onset type one diabetic using insulin. Covid caused his colonoscopy to be cancelled, and now he has an appointment on Thursday at very short notice. Currently waiting for someone from the hospital to advise him regarding diet and insulin usage in preparation for procedure. But I have researched and seen that there are certain foods that should be avoided. Can anyone help with food recommendations please?
Secondly, is there anything I should be looking out for to help? So far I've thought of:
Bepanthen/sudacreme and gentle toilet wipes for after the preparation drink.
Getting lots of glucose tablets in.
Flavoured water and orange squash to drink.
Anything else?
Lastly, do you guys think he will be OK to be left after 24 hours? I have one day emergency leave planned for the day of procedure. Will that be enough?
Sorry for all the questions.
