[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1951067, member: 211362"] Sorry to hear you're having a rough time. I'm glad to see you have booked in to see your doc as definitely worthwhile getting a check up. As you can see in my signature I have quite a few gastric conditions which includes irritable bowel syndrome. I find when it's really playing up my pain level tends to increase my need for more insulin because my sugar levels soar. We're all different though. I have combination IBS so it's either going way too fast or too slow and sometimes both (yep in one BM I mean). My entire GI tract doesn't move properly so I don't think I digest too well either which will affect my sugar levels. I can hypo an hour after eating and then again I can be in the teens on my glucometer 3 or 4 hours after eating too with eating the exact same meal. Also what is interesting is I'm still burping up food I ate 4 hours ago at times.... especially if it's fish or meat of some sort. I don't have gastroparesis though.... although sometimes I think my stomach definitely doesn't empty as fast as other times. Perhaps you have something similar going on? I wish you the best. :) [/QUOTE]
