Hi there, I have had diabetes for 20 years most of which have been poorly controlled. I started to get these bouts of sickness early last year which were put down to alcohol, ear infection and goodness knows what else. I have now been assigned a specialist diabetes nurse who's aim is to keep me out of hospital. My nurse and consultant and pretty sure I have Gastroparesis. I can't have tests yet due to high hba1c.
I can go months and be fine but sometimes only weeks. I start feeling sick and then start being sick and it doesn't stop for days. The nausea is totally debilitating and I can eat or drink nothing usually ending up with a hospital admission due to dehydration and starvation ketones. Oddly triggers seem to be lack of sleep, stress and def alcohol. I don't feel pain and different foods don't seem to be a trigger.
Does anyone else out there have the same kind of symptoms or have they got it wrong???
All opinions greatly appreciated,,,
