[QUOTE="sud5nala, post: 1216220, member: 307629"] In my reply, regarding the loss of incretin effect: actually, those drugs are prescribed for Type 2's, not Type 1's. Is that because Type 1's produce little to no insulin, so that there's nothing to stimulate? I meant to highlight that the digestive process has many modules and and an intricate set of feedback paths between the modules. The Webpage mentioning gastroparesis was specifically about Type 1. Here is a page with a list of digestive symptoms that could reflect autonomic neuropathy. [URL]http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/complications/neuropathy/autonomic-neuropathy.html[/URL] During middle age, I seemed to age as much in the last 5 years as in the first 15. Aging is only going to accelerate. For example, aging is one possible cause of reduced secretion of digestive enzymes. Even without diabetes, an old person's digestion may grow sluggish due to the dwindling of the enzymes (most of which are produced by the pancreas). If you aren't already pursuing diet changes (like low carb, high fat (LCHF)) and physical activity, they can help retard the complications by improving blood pressure and glucose levels. [/QUOTE]
