I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy in a few weeks. I'm concern about the day I have to prep and do liquids only. I'm afraid I'll end up eating something. I'm prediabetic and if I don't eat I'll feel unwell. I was thinking if i have to eat maybe scrambled eggs and white bread toast. But limit it most of the day do liquids Anyone here had the same issue and their procedure next day was fine?

I was prediabetic for several years & the prep had no effect on me at all. Typically it's suggested to eat light for a few days before the scope. The prep is always harder than the actual test.

You may want to discuss this with your drs office to see if they can give you some ideas too.
