Hello all. I posted here a while ago about high sugar levels and I am happy to say they are mostly under control again, and I'm in the process of reducing basal as I'm currently taking 16 units at 6pm, and 19-20 units at midnight. (sounds weird but it solved my high sugar problems!) Starting to have mild hypos at around 1am. All is good on the diabetic front.
On Tuesday, I had an endoscopy to investigate acid reflux and nausea I've been having on and off the last 6 months. I've actually been feeling great the last 2 weeks, I stopped Omeprazole a week before the procedure. Felt okay. A little bit of rebound reflux but no nausea and I was able to do normal things still. And I need to stress that the last 6 months I've barely been able to work as I would just feel sick and off-balance 24/7 with acid reflux, no appetite. I've lost a lot of weight (for a type 1 who can't lose weight no matter what I do anyway.) Ironically I didn't have any reflux problems until I was given Omeprazole. I originally went to the doctor with nausea, feeling weak and no appetite whatsoever. I couldn't eat at all.
I was gonna have sedation for the endoscopy but the surgeon said my veins were so tiny and I started freaking out when they were prodding me so I opted for gas and air, and throat numbing spray. They didn't find anything apart from a slightly lax valve but nothing to worry about. Now, since the procedure I feel rubbish. I have a burning reflux sensation in my throat that tends to ease up when I eat. I'm bloated to the point where it kinda hurts, and now I have bright yellow diarrhea (sorry!). I don't feel nearly as bad as I have been during the last 6 months. I'm able to do things but I'm just in pain. Is this normal? Just wanna hear any other experiences.
I'm waiting for a call back from the doctor and I'm sure it might just be the scope irritated my food pipe or something and the air they pumped in might've ''sped things up'' if you know what I mean, causing the runs. I don't have much appetite either. Since Tuesday I've eaten like 2 sandwiches, a chinese bun and maybe some hypo treatments like a few biscuits. I have a special night tomorrow and now I'm worried about drinking alcohol!
