Pre-Surgical Diet Guidelines for patients taking GLP-1 Medications
Patients taking GLP-1 medication for the management of diabetes or weight loss have different instructions when preparing for surgery with IV sedation. In general, patients may be advised to temporarily modify their diet, avoid certain foods, or alter their medication schedules as directed by the surgeon or prescribing doctor. It is important to consult with your oral surgeon and prescribing doctor before your procedure to receive personalized instructions. Patients taking a GLP-1 medication for diabetes must contact the prescribing provider to review blood sugar management before surgery.
