Enemas and Diabetics

I've had type 2 for two years now and control it with my diet. Never noticed any problems after enemas but I've never tried any food solutions, sugars etc.

I also have low blood pressure and definitely get light headed after a good session.

I am type 2 since 1994. In 2008 my endocrinologist did a C peptide lab that showed me producing almost no insulin (type 1 levels) and put me on a pump. From 11/94 until 2008 I never had an A1c under 8.0. Since I went on the pump, my control is excellent with only 3 A1c labs being 7, 7.1 & 7.3 with all others 6.3 - 6.8. I have always taken plain water enemas because I use a shower hose. Apparently I'm lucky my ignorance took me the right way. I've never noticed any particular change in my BG as a result of enemas. Again, maybe I'm just lucky.

One thing to consider is that diabetics are more susceptible to electrolyte imbalances, so that is a consideration. Also because of the overall disease process over time there there can be reduced liver and kidney function which is what often eventually filters excess water out of our body and the liver may filter some of the solution to eventually also if any is absorbed into the blood stream. So like everything else we do, research research research and know your body.

Im type 2 for over 10 years never had any kind of reaction to enemas,

Old topic, I know, but so am I. 🤣

“…the magnitude of absorption of glucose across the colon or rectal mucosa is insignificant and probably zero.” This conclusion is from a real study which can be read at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0026049567901321

That said, everyone is different, so check you BG at the time your BG usually peaks to see if what you are putting into your bottom is translating into a spike.

My late wife, Barbara, was type two. We followed all the doctors orders and advice for eight years working hard to get it under control and trying hard to keep it there.

I was just sitting in my armchair one day and had a crazy idea. I asked her what her ancestry history might be. She was east German, Check, and Jewish. After thinking for awhile i realized those culture's have no corn in their diet. I cut out all corn and corn product's from our diet . That means no soda, no diet soda, and no surger free soda {fructose sweetener}. The only oil i allowed for cooking was olive oil. Cut out all white bread. Cut all fat from our meat, only bought 70 % fat free hamburger. If she wanted a sandwich it had to be on a flour tortilla { she really got tired of that}. But in a little less then a year she was no longer diabetic. The healthier she got the more she wanted to “play around”. Now i would never tell you my method for her would work for any one else. Every one is different and the same thing might be absolutely wrong for every one else. Hell it might have been a fluke. But the end result was i got more sex.
