I'll have to check on the sugar free Ringer's lactate. That would have been a big help, despite all the inappropriate food they served. This was an admission directly from the ER, and (of course) my own doctor was out of town. The surgeon I used is excellent, but I had not had any prior conversations with him about diet other than telling him that I have diabetes and a discussion of diet. He listed me for "diabetic" diet, but that did no good. However, I did not know about the sugar free Ringer's.

IIWM, I'd have ripped the IV out of my arm and refused it until they complied with Ringer's. Only if asking the surgeon to write an order for it and a high protein diet failed, of course.
