Does anyone have this, or know much about it? I may have a mild form, or something like it, which would explain some of my more puzzling glucose scores, my complete lack of appetite until late afternoon, and my feeling sick if I try to eat earlier. Also, a couple of recent episodes of the "dry heaves" - very unusual for me.
I copied the following:
For a condition that few people have ever heard about, gastroparesis is awfully common. Up to 5 million Americans have it. “It is estimated that approximately 25% of diabetic patients have gastroparesis, although many patients with gastroparesis remain undiagnosed,” according to the State of Wyoming’s
Clinical Practice Recommendations for Diabetes Mellitus.
Gastroparesis “frequently occurs in people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes,” says the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion “Symptoms of gastroparesis include heartburn, nausea, vomiting of undigested food, an early feeling of fullness when eating, weight loss, abdominal bloating, erratic blood glucose levels, lack of appetite, gastroesophageal reflux, and spasms of the stomach wall.”
