Danger, danger!!

•———————————•

The trouble I am facing these days is with GASTROPARESIS

{which makes your stomach digest food at a slower rate.}

•

It complicates the bolus timing even more than a pizza would which is extremely frustrating.

•———————————•

A lot of lows are involved with blousing too soon for food I am eating with spikes to follow for correcting for those lows.

•

Everything is a learning curve and I am beginning to have a better handle on the new blousing process now

•

Any advice for me, questions or just other diabetics with gastroparesis who want to reach out are welcome [and needed]

•

Gave myself the usual bolus for my coffee and corrected for the blood sugar

And now I am 60 with 2.6 on board 😭😭😭

Gastroparesis sucks.

If you don’t know what that is, I will illuminate you.

Basically... my stomach doesn’t digest food in the normal amount of time. (Lots of fancy terminology with stomach nerve endings) but basically if I bolus for food early or as I am eating it, sometimes I drop like a cannon ball on the ocean and if I correct for that low, the glucose i originally ate with eventually be absorbed, along with the correction sugar, and I will spike like all of those fireworks last night.

Almost unpredictable but I am coming to terms with it. The more controlled my blood sugars are, the less unpredictable the gastroparesis is. I wish that were always true.. but 80% of the time it is.
