    Not Absorbing Food

    That’s really interesting, @Robinredbreast. I wasn’t Coeliac at last test a few months ago, but then it can be missed sometimes too! One to think about. There’s definitely something gut funny going on!

    Not Absorbing Food

    I’ve had it happen when BG low too, @lindaburner. It can be really scary to be taking on sugar but BG not rising. I never use any kind of choc to treat hypos, it’s not fast acting enough. Before stomach issues lucozade used to work a treat. Then they went and removed all the sugar to avoid the...

    Not Absorbing Food

    @Jollymon that’s really interesting, gastroparesis is something I have been considering. Does it affect you randomly or is it fairly consistent?

    Thanks, @Grant_Vicat. Unfortunately can happen no matter what BG is, in this case it was 8. Your thoughts definitely make sense for when BG is low though.

    Not Absorbing Food

    So, has anyone experienced eating but their BG level doesn’t increase? Last night I ate dinner and bolused, within half an hour BG was dropping very rapidly. So took on glucose to prevent hypo. Then stabilised to a sensible level. Have experienced on numerous occasions where have eaten but BG...

    Issues Ordering Medtronic Supplies

    Usually the same for me (I’m not funded for sensors), so no idea why it’s suddenly changed!

    Issues Ordering Medtronic Supplies

    I have just gone on to Medtronic’s eShop to do my usual 4 month order, however instead of saying the items are funded (and hiding the price) all items are showing prices and my basket is over £500! Can anyone else confirm if this is happening to them too?
