Hi Laura
I understand your frustrations. In high school, back before I was diagnosed with diabetes I did NG feedings for about two weeks. It was VERY successful, but it took some serious courage to shove that tube down every night. I still can’t believe it but in just ONE night I gained SEVEN pounds!!! (I may have been on prednisone too though) I still have stretch marks from it! Are your docs talking about a NG tube or the one that is more permanent?
After hearing your struggles with your tummy, it makes me wonder if your carb to insulin ratio is right. Or maybe you need two ratios, one for when you eat fat and protein and another for just fast acting carbs. Do you tend to go high then crash into a low?
I am really interested in what Jenny said about carbs turning into fats. I can’t figure out how to send her a private message… I’ll have to look into that later today.
Hope you are having a good day!
((hugs!))
