Post-sickocalypse... O the heartburn!!!!
After spending the greater part of last week with my head in the toilet (I checked, no babies here), this weekend was a BG rollercoaster! Woke up high, did a correction, o wait now its going to drop ten times more than it should. Shake, drink juice, eat a granola bar, check 20 minutes later, still low? Good god! more juice. Check 30 mins later, 20 (high)! Kripe! Go all "Adjustment Bureau" on that, and then it levels out.
Well, let me tell you what happens next! I get the worst heartburn for like 2 days that no amount of Zantac or Tums is going to fix. I talked to my doctor about it once, and he told me that this is common for diabetics when our BG is erratic like mine was this weekend. Does anyone else suffer from heartburn after a sucession of highs and lows like that?

Hi, yes experience this same problems with highs and lows leading to acid reflux and especially after barf session. I was taking Prilosec twice a day with no relief but my sister told me about over the counter Prevacid with dose of twice daily and within four days all symptoms went away. Also use a nasal rinse Neti pot which squirts saline up one nostril and comes out other one, to clear acid from nose and sinuses . Sounds gross, but once you try becomes addictive. Feels as refreshing as brushing teeth and not hard to do as long as you don't inhale. Hope you feel better soon. Lots.
