I have found that it depends on how you react to different foods because of both your diabetes and gastroparesis. I started with plain soft foods and progressed from there. Try the same food several times to get a feel for it. The time of day you eat will make a difference as well as activity level. Gastro is a tuff complication and it is hard to find foods that work for you. Try Crystal Saltrelli's web site and on Facebook. Good luck.

Those are good numbers. If you have leftovers it would be good to check to see if they repeat. Keep on trying and good luck!

This happens to me often. I think it is because of the delayed digestion.
