Illeostomy question

some stuff takes a while to digest, and you have a shorter transit time now.  Sometimes i see stuff come out 30 minutes after i put it in!  and the big pills sometimes do that, the best thing is to either get a chewable, liquid or sublingual version.  If you can't and your pill is scored, try breaking it up into small pieces.  But ones with coatings shouldnt be broken.  You also should not take slow release pills, like the ones that say they last all day.  i have better luck with geltabs.  I'm not sure what Actos is, but you should ask your dr if there is a different form you can take.

 

Thanks for the info.  I also changed my routine which seems to have slowed down the high sugar readings.  I used to take my meds first thing when I first got up shaved and brushed my teeth.  I now wait until about 15 minutes after a good meal, so something is blocking the way so to speak, giving them much more time to disolve.  This is all new to me, so it is all trial and error.  I was just worried about my blood sugar really spiking over the holiday week-end.  But it seems more under control now.  Any help is really appreciated though and I'll get with my Doctor as soojn as possible.
