I’ve had type 1 for 26 years. When you say insulin dependent, do you mean type 1 or 2? The reason I ask is that type 2 offers more options now in the way of medication options. They aren’t really designed for type 1, though I know some who take them.

I realize this is a struggle. I’ve been on insulin pump (with integrated cgm and automated insulin delivery)for several years now. It helps.

I found the global online diabetes community to be very supportive. I get discouraged sometimes, but try to stay active, eat right and keep numbers down. I don’t think most people realize how hard it is. Sorry, I don’t have advice on gastroparesis.
