Got a letter today from Animas regarding safety warnings for their Vibe pump. Writing is too small for me read; anyone else get a letter, what's the jist of it - something I should be concerned about? I'd appreciate if someone could give me a link or let know please. Need to get a new...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I sent an email off to them today. Feel a bit silly for doing so, my vision isn't near visually impaired; but depth perception and night vision are definitely affected and it's time I admitted I need help with that.

Due to retinopathy my night vision is terrible and I don't go out after dark unless I've someone with me I can link on to. Recently I had to go out on my own, just walking from and entrance to a building to a waiting taxi on my own and it made me realise how bad it is and that I really can't...

Interesting; I've been burping lots for a couple of years now and it's only lately I've had a Doctor take my issues seriously. Mainly because I've a bubbling sound in my throat at night now and stomach issues to boot, choking at night is also an issue. The tablets I'm on do nothing to improve...

Hi, I think you may have misread. I haven't been coughing up blood, just tasting it when I burp. Thankfully the taste wasn't there from evening onwards yesterday, though it's back this .morning. Trying to get through to Dr on phone this morning, not an easy task. Will as receptionist if...

Ok, just rang there and explained what the problem was; they said they had no other appointments available but that I could try again tomorrow morning when some appointments for this Friday would be released. It's so difficult to get seen at the GP here.

Thanks. Got an appointment for the Dr, but it's not till the 4th October. I might ring back for emergency appointment tomorrow if things don't improve.

Thanks, I'll give my GP a call.

I was diagnosed with reflux over the summer. I had/have concerns about gastroparesis, but the GP think it's hiatus hernia causing my issues. They have referred me for testing (camera down the throat). Since yesterday evening I've been getting the taste of blood when I burp. I burp...

Thankfully, though I'm still constantly burping and hearing that bubbling in my throat, my stomach hasn't felt completely stuffed this last 2 days. Having soups seems to be helping instead of solid food for some of my meals.

Yes, it's possible. I didn't know I lost awareness and kept having random highs in the 20s. Kept upping insulin trying to sort it. A CGM for a week revealed I was having hypos and luckily my liver was kicking in before I hit 3 or below. Left me with huge highs though and felt ****.

Will try that for sure. Thanks for the tip.

I love coleslaw and salads, eat them all the time. :)

I don't low carb all the time; but when I do I can't say I notice a difference in symptoms. Though it does make BG easier to manage.

I would have thought peak BG 2 hours post meal would have been about normal, matching the peak action of quick acting insulin. I find myself going hypo occasionally round that time as I have given my insulin, but food hasn't moved beyond the stomach to get digested (I guess). The high comes...

Thank you all for the replies. I'm gonna look into those now. Had some mash and chicken soup for dinner this evening in the hopes it's easier digested.

Hi, I've been to the GP and diagnosed with reflux. I have to take omeprazole for 6 weeks before returning to get referred for further investigation. I'm pretty sure this is gastroparesis I have, a week and a half into taking omeprazole and no ease at all, the GP has had me on it a couple of...
