Diabetes and Gasrto.

I'm Type 2 Diabetic and have other issues  with my health, i have Gastroparesis, Barretts disease, IBS, Acid Reflux ( Gerd ) Stomach Hernia, and have had 9 Polyps taken from my Bowels ( non cancerous ). I know it's the diabetes thats killing the nerve endings in my stomach which has give me the gastroparesis but how do i control my sugars? i do my best but find it real hard. Also could you tell me if this is going to spread throughout my body ( the nerve endings dying ) because i have other symptoms such as pains in my feet, toes and legs, awful cramps and numbness, after lying down the pains in my feet are shocking...How dangerous is all this for my health? Please tell me the truth. I know i've gone on a little but theres one more thing, could you suggest what type of food i should be eating for the issues i have with my health please? I have asked my doctor and diabetic nurse but all they say is read up on it and just feel they can't be bothered helping me, could you help please....

Aside from your Gastroparesis, probably caused by your medication for your  Barrett’s disease and acid reflux. Your stomach hernia can be repaired through minimal invasive, laparoscopic surgery which will help in minimizing acid reflux and worsening of Barrett’s disease.

As for the diabetic neuropathy, in effect, not treated, it is progressive and affects the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste and feel. There is specific medication available by Bayer Laboratories to revert these symptoms.

Get in contact with your physician to modify your acid reflux and Barrett’s medication and include THIOCTACID T 600 and/or THIOCTACID 600 HR for your diabetic neuropathy.
