Members rallied around someone experiencing constant nausea, likely from diabetes medications, with many suggesting they check medication side effects listed on pharmacy paperwork and consider consulting an endocrinologist if symptoms persist. Several members shared practical remedies that have worked for them, including eating small amounts of food like oatmeal or cereal before taking medication, chewing bits of fresh ginger root, drinking freshly grated ginger tea, sipping warm water with cinnamon, or trying sugar-free ginger ale to settle the stomach. A recurring theme was that nausea can stem from multiple sources including medications, diabetes itself, stress, or anxiety, and that finding the right combination of remedies often requires patience and experimentation.

Thanks everyone. I had some oatmeal and that helped. Yes, this is every day. Too late to start seeing an endocrinologist, Judy as I'm leaving in a little over a month but Google is a friend. I was listening to music on YouTube and a woman was talking that instead of tea or coffee she has warmed water with sweetener. I have added ground cinnamon and it tastes better than both, is cheaper and does soothe the nausea. Thank you all for the concern and advice.

Nausea can be caused by diabetes itself, such as gastroparesis (a complication of diabetic neuropathy), or as a side effect of diabetes medications like Metformin. It could also stem from other medications you're taking. Eating smaller, more frequent meals may help manage nausea. However, it's essential to talk to your Show Full Answer

I can't tolerate oatmeal. So I usually have eggs and greens.

For the nausea, I eat bits of ginger root. It's a Japanese thing.

@A DiabetesTeam Member hello my friend I hope you are able to get some help with the nausea - prior to leaving for the Philippines . Do you see an Endocrinologist? I lf not I recommend you get a referral from your doctor if he doesn’t have any answers to this recurring issue? Some good advice here from the Diabetes Team and from team members. Everyone is different and I recommend that you take the time to get some help!
Happy New Year 🥳
Hugs from Judyxx
