hello

[Guest guest]

Hello Melvin, I am responding late as I have had a number of health issues

myself this wee, I am originally from the Cleveland are and have had type 1

diabetes for over 65 years. I also use an insulin pump and gastric

problems. I see aver excellent gastro guy out here who put my motilium,

which I have send for from Canada as it is not approve in this country, but

used all over in rest of world. You might want to ask your gastro guy about

it. Best of luck to you at the Cleland Clinic. They are really good there.

Re: hello

Dave,

You are correct. I was 29 when the sight went totally. It was shortly

before that I went on an insulin pump and have been using one ever since and

I love it. I just upgraded my pump this past week to a 523 which isn't much

different from the one I had before.

We are struggling right now to keep my sugars high enough because I am on

a liquid diet. In October I developed gastroperisis. To keep me from being

sick every day my doctors have decided to put me on a total liquid diet,

which means a lot of broth and Jell-o. I am using regular Jell-o and

popsicles and they help to keep my sugars where they should be, but there

are still times that they drop rather low. We keep lowering my basal rates

and now at night I am only taking .05 units per hour, which is the lowest

that I can go without not getting any at all. I go Wednesday to Cleveland

Clinic to swallow a smart pill that will tell them how my stomach is

emptying from there I may have to have a gastric pace maker put in.
