 Reglan is a mainstay of treatment. There are some other medicines that can be used. Some use low doses of erythromycin to help induce GI motility. A drug that was previously used, cisapride, has been taken off the US market due to severe cardiac side effects.
Being sure that your glucose is under control is important to help reduce on-going peripheral neuropathies. At high concentrations, glucose is essentially toxic to the body and causes lots of problems.
I would recommend you discuss with your doctor other possible treatments to see if one sounds like it may work for you.
Best wishes.
