[QUOTE="Platinum, post: 2079242, member: 91091"] Hi everyone. About 18 months ago I was diagnosed with gastroparesis – I was having loads of hypos after food as it was not being digested, vomiting (usually in the small hours), feeling full – all the usual symptoms. Interestingly, I was diagnosed by my endo without a stomach emptying study. Anyway, I was given Domperidone which sometimes helped a little, plus some anti sickness medication. Over the last six months or so, my hypos have gotton a load worse and I am finding that glucose is taking an hour or more to work, I guess as it is just sitting on top of undigested food. I have been losing consciousness about once a month due to the hypos as my blood sugar falls so fast my CGM can’t keep up. This prompted my endo to order a stomach emptying study which came back as NORMAL??? I wonder if this has happened to anyone else? I had to not eat for 12 hours before the test and was given a small meal and a small cup of water to drink prior to the test. It seems to me that this test is not related to real life. People must normally eat a lot more than the tiny meal I was given. I have a Sunday roast (obviously a heavy meal) then a hypo. I did an experiment the other day – I had my evening meal (boiled fish and vegetable rice). Bolused as normal, waited an hour and then ate ten chocolate digestives (110gCHO) and did not bolus. My blood sugar took nearly three hours to start rising and I only just kept it down overnight. Clearly my digestive system has a problem. If not gastroparesis then what? I would appreciate any comments. [/QUOTE]
