RE: gastroparesis: I'm 75, type2 diabetic, but maintain good A1C (under 6.5). For all of you who are dealing with gastroparesis, I would like to say that you MUST stay active. Sitting is deadly; be sure you're up & about every hour or so and get some OUTSIDE time, brisk walking is absolutely required to keep your body operating. This keeps your vagus nerve awake, which stimulates everything else, including the lymph system. Having many friends with similar issues, I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS. (And Docs don't tell you this because they want to keep you as patients.) This is my love language to you today - - love, Laura< ><

@lauracbaker I’m an 82 year old Type 2 diabetic A1C 6.5. I was diagnosed with mild gastroparisis 3 years ago. It is apparently not mild anymore. If I eat just about any solid food I’m sick for 3 days. I mainly get a burning pain in my stomach and nothing relieves it. My quality of life is zero. Am going to Cleveland Clinic in 2 weeks. I don’t feel good pretty much every day.
