Recently diagnosed with Gastroparesis

Posted by lusi0610 @lusi0610, Jul 6, 2024

Hello I’ve recently been diagnosed with Gastroparesis and have a question please. I read about a lot of you with g-tubes and implants. Can I ask how long did it take you to get to that point? I’m very scared to think this happens to most at some point.

@margaretob , okay so it seems with only taking long acting, you are type 2. Not sure if your A1c is in good range, but if not you might ask about the new meds for type 2. From what I’v read, they offer a lot of benefits. My good friend who was type 2 now has normal insulin levels since taking one of the new meds. She’s now not in the diabetes range. And, she feels great. I might discuss it with my doctor.
