    Diabetic gastroperesis

    Hi, I suffer from this for years. After eating, the food gets stuck in the stomach for hours (or days) until I vomit it or eventually it passes through (which prolongs the pain). That is why I try to vomit when it happens so the sickness goes away. The only 2 things that have helped so far are...

    Diabetic gastroperesis

    And I just found out in another thread that some people are using R-ALA. I just bought it from eBay but I haven't tried it yet to give a review, but it's worth to try.

    Diabetic gastroperesis

    I've had this problem for years. and only 2 things have helped - Iberogast, herbal drops to take when you eat and CBD, sold as an electronic cigarette (all herbal, non tobacco) sold by Medipen. In the UK you can get Iberogast via eBay and the MediPen from their website.

    That makes a lot of sense but, as you say, they will overlap and so I shouldn't take the same amount the next evening, right? Thanks.

    I don't think it's too high, 5 would be great. But I'm not a doctor, just an experienced type 1. If it was me, I wouldn't change anything because increasing the basal insulin could put you in a hypo very easily.

    Sometimes I just fall asleep at night and I forget to take my Lantus. I always take it at bed time. If I forget to take it one night I usually take half the dosage in the morning and again half the dosage at night. But the night dosage may not be sufficient then. Any advice? Thanks.

    Symptons of hypo at 4.8?

    Some times, even although you blood sugar is high, if it is decreasing you can feel the same symptoms as an hypo. It happens to me when I have a high blood sugar and then take the insulin, when it starts to decrease I feel hypo symptoms but I'm not in a hypo.

    Putting on weight

    You must consider your glucose level before eating and taking the insulin. Imagine you have a 10 reading before a meal; imagine you'd like to be at a 5.5 Each unit you give "subtracts" 2.75 blood glucose level. So you must take 1 unit of 100 UI/mL insulin. Plus, you have to give extra insulin...

    Putting weight on?

    Hi Aaron. I have the same question as you. The difference is i have trouble digesting (gastroperesis) so i don't see many choices for that. To gain weight, i suggest you go to a gym and do serious musclebuilding. At the same time, eat a lot of carbohydrates ( you need to manage your insulin...
