Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sallybear" data-source="post: 323728" data-attributes="member: 50282">Thanks again for the information, the idea that it is a scale really makes sense but to be honest I am quite concerned about my stomach. Over the last 12 months I have suffered from increasing amounts of terrible heartburn. Normally resulting in awful vomiting which has damaged my teeth and gums. It's as if in the evenings, any food or drink I have consumed does not progress through my digestive system and ends up coming back up. At present about 4 days out of every 7 I suffer from the heartburn in a bad way, and 2 days out of 7 I am throwing up. I have been reading a lot about diabetes and have read that this can happen when there is damage to the nerves in your stomach. I had no idea this was related so will speak to the GP about it on Friday. Nerve damage has already happened on my head as I have lost so much hair, and with long thick hair down to my middle it has been devastating. I'm really not having a great time, but at the same time feel that this could be the explanation to so many things that have been going wrong for me lately, so in essence it is a bit of a relief. I can only assume that my sugars have been high for some time as the nerve damage has already become noticeable.Right off for some dinner!!Does anyone else feel like a zombie when shopping for food after being newly diagnosed, I can't see food only questions.</blockquote>
