   Hey about the digestion issue, I use a natural vitamin called Fusion Liver Tonic and Fusion Detox. Works for me. I also use Kidney Tonic just to try to protect my kidneys from diabetes complications. I believe you can buy this stuff on line, but yeah the Detox and Liver tonics I know works well.

   I had an episode last year where I think gastroparesis was the ‘culprit’. I had to start earing smaller meals more often throughout the day to let my body digest at a comparable rate. I was diagnosed at age 7 - July 1985. I wear a Minimed insulin pump and I use highly purified pork regular insulin. Works like a champ

   Hey Allie great vidJust wondering how difficult it is to get pork insulin? Where is it made?I may have to ask my doctor if its available here in Australia. Does your pork insulin work like Novo Rapid, that it quick response? Is there a Levmir pork equivalent?

   On a semi, somewhat related topic. I am wondering,if you, like me have gastroparesis (delayed processing of food). If so, do you use the pump or do you give individual injections?? I am very sick of wearing the pump!At what age were you diagnosed and what kind of insulin do you take?Tx,L
