Is she taking insulin? Use of a DEXCOM or Libre monitor for continuous monitoring of glucoses is helpful. If she is taking insulin, the timing of insulin and matching insulin doses to carbohydrates are key to more stable glucoses.

It took me some time to recover from surgery plus adjusting to diet, Creon pills and being a new Type 1 diabetic. Also, I had many weeks using a tube to drain bile from surgery caused by scar tissue. Recovery takes time.
