How we deeal with these is as important as recognizing them.
giving a clue as to what each is, allows a diabetic to see whats coming with both eyes open and prevent it head on.

Gastricparisis is often misconstrued in a adiabetci as GERD. Though the treatments are basically the same.
GAstricparisis is the slow emptying of teh stomach, an interal numbing o f the nerve sof teh stomach and upper digestive tract.Consider it neuropathy for your digestive system.

Small meals al day longw ith no more than 2 carbohyadrte choices with a matching amounts of protein allow for a full digestion with little extrra caid needed.
For erosion a iquid diet is effective. It allows the entire system to relax and heal. Make sure that a liquid consists of a good amount of fiber.
Ensure, boost, slimfast, carnation or Pillsbury instant breakfast or any other highly nutrritional milk addtive will work. Also make sure that you get FRESH eggs. As this is aliquid and it boosts up the protein value. UNless you prefer protein powders.

There is no cure for GP. But the trteatments help and are effective.

Mini TIA is a compliated effect of elevated glucose evels thatd ont show up in glucose testing.
They often begin as a strange lite in the eye that grows, and as it grows it block vision. There is a residual effect of one side becoming slightly weak. but not debilitating. IT oftenb occurs on teh same side as the light flash.

The effects make you very sleepy and tired for a few days and then you are up and around again. Continued episodes one after another or frequent episodes could be a signal that your medication has stopped working and you are not in control.

I ahve had many of these and each time my glucose meter reads normal. but the episde says otherwise. and often intermittent shots of R help to rpeev\nt them.A daily aspirin regimin helps also by making teh RBC a littel slicker and allowing the cells to function better.

If you have a TIA such as this mild type. sit down and let it pass. do not try to do anything and se your doctor if you have one as soon as possible.
These are warnings that something is wrong or off with your control.
