[QUOTE="sunnyh, post: 22127, member: 3368"] Hello, and I've appreciated all of the good comments here...it's helped a lot. I did try crushing the tablets last night, as I normally take them immediately after my dinner. It didn't work, and I vomited so hard that I thought I was going to have to call for help. I believe I am going to have to switch Dr's, as I have asked for help with this problem repeatedly, and have been told that there's nothing else they can do for me, and even had it insinuated that it's all in my head. I do well with the insulin injections, and will just have to stop the tablets, as you say, if they don't stay down, they aren't doing any good. I guess I just don't believe how any Dr could just shrug this one off, especially an insulin-dependent patient who has a serious problem with not only tablets, but also with food. Meals are now a nightmare, and I dread eating anything at all. I've ended up twice this year in A&E having a camera stuck down my throat to dislodge food. So, no, it's not all in my head. But now it's up to me to seek out the proper medical help, and I'm going to have a try at that. Thank you all for your input, as it helps to know that there really ARE people out there who go through similar things. SunnyH [/QUOTE]
