Enemas and Diabetics

Any Advice would be help full. I know adding any sugar is a BIG NO NO. From my own experience wine enemas are not good either. Hope to hear for more people with advice.

Yes, I have some advice!

Are you recently diagnosed? Are you on medications or are you insulin-dependent?

If you are recently diagnosed or if your diabetes is unstable at present, no enemas for you! Wait until your blood glucose is consistently normal and well-controlled. If you have any other underlying health issues, such as an infection or if your immune system seems otherwise "out of whack" (that's a technical term), then wait until you are more stable.

I am a diabetic, and I do take enemas rarely. The rarity is not so much due to the diabetes, but more to my dislike of enemas. I can say that an enema seems to cause my blood glucose to fluctuate somewhat. It seems to cause my BG to drop, sometimes precipitously. Low BG is a real problem and makes you feel a lot like a wet dishrag. As a diabetic, I wouldn't take an enema on an empty stomach, but probably about 2-3 hours after a meal. I also wouldn't wait too long after expelling to recharge and have a little snack to make sure that everything was still in balance.

For diabetics, it's very important to maintain homeostasis, so I would stick with plain water enemas with some table salt as a buffer against osmosis. Stay away from the fancy concoctions. I've done some soapy enemas with Dr. Bronner's with good results but I've had a couple go bad on me too. You didn't mention this, but I will; no bananas or marshmallows in there either.

Hope this helps you!

Caution is the operative word for a diabetic and enemas. Monitor your glucose before and shortly after taking an enema.

Plain water is best with a small amt. of salt. No alcohol or recipes that contain any type food.

Lastly, never take an enema if you are having episodes of low blood sugar until you have stabilized your blood sugar

readings for at least twenty four hours.

Just a short note about enemas and diabetes. My Dr. knows I am a diabetic and recommends a coffee enema daily. It is part of a larger health regimine and being an MD, he is not a quack

Thanks ladydocisin for the advice i did not know this and i was just found out that i have diabetes type 2 so this will be helpfull

What would happen if I gave my sub a milk and honey enema? He is a type 2 diabetic. Should I check his sugar after the enema?

DO NOT GIVE A DIABETIC AN ENEMA CONTAINING SUGAR!!! Given by enema the glucose is absorbed too quickly for oral meds or insulin to keep up with and metabolise properly. It's not a question of checking sugar afterwards, it's a question of not doing it at all. If a diabetic shouldn't have something orally, it doesn't make it any better to give it rectally. If you persist, just make sure you have a phone handy so you can dial 9-1-1.

Ladydoc has been emphatic not to use an enema containing sugar.

That would include things like Coca Cola (pepsi or any other non diet soda), Milk and Molasses, Maple syrup, pumping in canned frosting used in baking, Marshmallows for anal stuffing, or anything else that may contain sugar or simple carbohydrates from any source and watch for any hidden sugar in any pre-prepared materials you might pump up the butt.

Use your brain before you use your bag.

Mspatty - thinking further on the matter, it occurs to me that your idea is actually a double diabetic whammy. Milk is used by many diabetics to correct low blood glucose because it contains lactose. Remember that anything ending in "ose" is a sugar, whether complex or simple. Really, the best enema solution for a diabetic is plain water with a little salt to prevent osmotic action. As I mentioned in a post earlier, I've used soap in some enemas but I use a very light hand.

If you and your partner are into enema play, more power to you but be careful. Enemas often make my blood sugar drop in a hurry. Watch for dizziness, disorientation, slurred speech, fatigue and cold sweating. All these indicate a real problem that may require medical intervention.

Knowledgeable information and advice is greatly appreciated.

We substitute sugar free sodas for any recipe that calls for sugar, cafeine and carbon dioxide. Check blood surgar levels before and after administering any new recipe. Will this cause harm?

Now with all the information of quality available here a review shall be a prerequisite prior to play. We have found that we have many things to learn and now have a viable source information

I am a type II diabetic. I take soapsuds enemas with all of the popular variations of Dr. Bronner's castile soaps without any significant changes in blood sugar.

Of course, nothing with real sugar goes into my body. The one recipe I tried that made my blood sugar go up a lot is an aloe vera enema.

Be careful.

@mspatty - checking blood sugar is NEVER a bad thing, how you react to the reading is what's important. Let's say you give your SO an enema about two hours after he's eaten a full meal. His blood glucose reading would naturally be elevated as his body processes the meal he's eaten. Attempting to correct that reading with insulin would likely result in a crash later. One of the best ways to correct high blood sugar is by doing some form of exercise, a nice brisk walk around the block would be a good start.

The worst thing you can do is overdo any corrections. The last time I was in hospital my BG plummeted to 29 (because the nurse didn't listen to me). She was, I think, in a panic to cover her butt so she brought me a nice big glass of OJ with 2 tablespoons of sugar mixed in. That was nasty and when my BG didn't go up fast enough for her, she brought me a packet of glucose to take orally. That was pure hell and I nearly vomited on her. An hour after all her "corrections" my reading was over 400 and they had to put me on an IV drip with insulin to balance me out. After riding the sugar roller coaster I was exhausted and sick.

What I'm trying to say is play carefully, play smart, and don't panic. I don't know if you're on FetLife but they have an entire area devoted to diabetics and BDSM. It might do you both some good to educate yourselves about the possible pitfalls and what you can do safely.

I am a type (2) diabetic, found out almost 15yrs ago, My wife has been giving me enemas, for 30, there does not seem to be any adverse effect to me. She on several occasions will do several in a row, especially when she is really arroused. I do not think any one person fits into any specific category, we all have to know our limitations. Any one should take notice of any strange feelings other that that wonderful feeling, of pleasure and pain, of being filled with a nice warm soapy enema. Just my experience.

Well said rigid58. Every body is different. Enemas don't appear to have any adverse effects for you and your wife is willing to participate. How lucky are you?

I, too am a type 2 diabetic, and have been taking enemas for the last 62 years, almost daily for the last twenty, and the cup of coffee with a teaspoon of sugar (I know I shouldn't, but you can't cut out all of life's pleasures) has more effect on my BG than the three enemas taken an hour before.

My lady is a type 2 diabetic, 2 good friends are type 1, and another friend is an ER nurse. Discussing it with them, their consensus is...

**NO** sugar or food of any kind in an enema for a diabetic. That means no regular sodas, alcohol of ANY kind (alcohol converts straight to sugar in the bloodstream). Honey, molasses, refined sugars, agave, fruit juice, milk, etc. are all right out! They're likely to have less impact on blood glucose, but even Splenda and stevia are not recommended. Anything inserted in the rectum is absorbed more quickly than taking it orally and would have a much more noticable impact on a diabetic's blood sugar than simply eating it.

If you want to explore enemas with a diabetic, I'd stick to only saline until you know how their body reacts. Ladydocisin said enemas cause her BG to drop, "sometimes precipitously", while waterbottom and rigid58 have no issues. YMMV.

How much salt and/or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) goes into a saline enema? I just visited a friend in the hospital and his IV saline drip was marked "0.45% Sodium Chloride." A rule of thumb I've seen over the inter-web is 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per quart. When I accidentally mixed one of my own with 1 tsp per quart, I was thirsty and tasted salt for the next 12 hours... that was too much.

If you're considering administering an enema to someone with known medical issues, discuss it very frankly with them first, including what you do and don't know.

I am a type 1 diabetic, no problem with most enemas, however i do use sugar, alcohol, milk, etc., i think that's just asking for trouble. castile soap, epsom salts, glycerin, saline, etc. all ok. the last thing you want is to "crash" during an enema. what really raises my blood sugar levels is a sunburn.

I am a type 2 diabetic and well controlled and I do soapy and plain water enemas on a routine basis with no harsh effects. Every once in a while it will lower my blood sugars, but not to extreme levels. Some times when I eat the wrong foods and my levels are a little high, the first thing I do is an enema and that helps my level go down. It works for me but everybody is different so PLEASE be careful with your enema play.

I'm type II and have been using enemas for 50 yrs now. I have never noticed any major difference in BG levels. This is just me. Your experience may be completely different.

I am a type 2 diabetic, and I a usually have no trouble with just one enema. More than one I get a little confused, but some oj fixes that right away

Am married to a well controlled type 2 diabetic.

I've used small (24 oz.) but strong coffee retention enemas for nearly 20 years. About two months ago my wife tried one for the first time. No significant excursion in BG during or after the 20-25 minute holding period.

Both of us appreciate the general feeling of good health that accompanies this therapy.

I'm a Type 2 diabetic and enemas from early childhood, as reported in many postings. Blood sugar readings do not SEEM to be effected. My routine is two 2 qt Sse followed by two 2 qt Salt& Soda,every other day. Occasional coffee or Bentonite enemas thrown in from time to time.

You CAN still take enemas!!

Do you eat at specific times?

If you do, overnight may be the best time to take an enema.

I do not know if the story i heard is true or not but i heard that syrup enemas were used to diabetics when their sugar dropped and they were un responsive on the other hand properly maintaining you levels does not mean no sugar allowed too much of one thing is too much for anyone but a little common sense and educating yourself is always a good guied

. . . i heard that syrup enemas were used to diabetics when their sugar dropped . . .

People with hypoglycemia get a glucose IV or chew glucose tablets, not syrup enemas.

If still conscious, a few grams of glucose tablets will work quickly to stabilize the patient.

Or even a glass of orange juice with a little added sugar.

I too am type II and have been for twenty years. I've taken enemas for fifty years now and have never had any issues. I use plain tap water almost exclusively, so there is no effect on blood sugar. Keep it simple and clean up will be easy.

Or even a glass of orange juice with a little added sugar.

You don't even need added sugar.

In a pinch, you can even use Coke or Pepsi---NOT THE DIET KIND.

Stir it to reduce carbonation if you can.

Keep in mind there are different levels of severity.

Juvenile Diabetes Tends to become sever enough to be insulin dependent very quickly .

Not so much maturity onset type.

Often stays fairly mild for years

I am a type 1 diabetic, no problem with enemas, just use your brain, no M&M, or any solution with with "carby" ingredients. have had no problem with glycerin either.
