[QUOTE="Odin004, post: 1500167, member: 406622"] How frustrating - yes, I think a chat with the surgeon would be in order. A few of my own thoughts: - Sorry if you've mentioned this in a previous post, but do you inject, or are you on a pump? If you inject, have you thought about a pump? As I understand it, one advantage is the ability to turn off the insulin supply if need be - perhaps useful if you're prone to hypos as a result of the digestion issues? - Have a look at this - [URL]https://draxe.com/digestive-enzymes[/URL] - this is a great website generally, and there's lots of other great info elsewhere on the site - but perhaps the suggestion re digestive enzymes is something to discuss with doctor/dietician? - When you have delayed gastric emptying, does this also slow down the absorption of any glucose you take (i.e. Lucozade etc) to treat the hypo? - Do you notice that some foods are more likely to lead to digestion problems than others? - Have you thought of adding a couple of plant based protein shakes to your diet - extra calories without too much fat and fibre (depending on the brand) - maybe another issue to discuss with daughter/dietician? Glad you bought the turmeric tea - I suppose it is an acquired taste, though I quite like it myself! [/QUOTE]
