Probiotics

[lynbrown]

I am T2 on insulin and tabs. Is there any harm in my taking probiotic capsules to help my digestion?

Since diabetics tend to have trouble with digestion, I can't imagine why probiotics wouldn't be helpful. My doctor recently asked me to eat two yogurts a day which is kind of the same.

What trouble do diabetics have with digestion? I'm diabetic I don't have any trouble!

I should have said some Diabetics can have trouble with digestion. I was tested years ago through an endoscopy and they found that my stomach had lost "motility." The doctor explained it was something that could happen when you are a Diabetic and that food wouldn't process through the stomach like it should, causing the food to sit on the stomach longer. This could cause a rise in Blood Sugar readings as well as discomfort. All Diabetics are different so it may not apply to everyone.
And who knows if my digestive issue affects the Diabetes or vice versa? I do know that digestion working well helps my BS to level out.
