Does GERD go with diabetes?

My Dad had pancreatitis before he was diagnosed with diabetes. He also had gerd and extreme bloating in his stomach. He also developed heart problems, went in for heart surgery and never got better because of the diabetes. His creatin level was extremely high when they did surgery on him and I wish he hadn't had it done because he died a month after and was in a land of "dementia" until he did die. I would reccomend anyone who has diabetes/and heart problems to decide which is the worst of the two evils before having heart surgery. My Dad's toes also turned black and started falling off before he died. They tried to help his feet in a hyper-barric chamber, but it didn't do any good. My poor mother is left with outrageous medical bills that medicare couldn't pay. About $2,500 for each hyper treatment and he had about 10 of them, and medicare doesn't cover them. Sorry I'm ranting. Still mad at the medical world because of a lack of letting my Mom and Dad know the possible outcome's from having heart surgery, with the diabetes.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so, both myself and my wife have GERD but neither of us is diabetic.
I have GERD, but I don't know that my diabetes causes it. There is also a condition known as an inflamed pancreas which might cause similar symptoms
No, but I have both.
Sometimes.

One of the long-term complications of diabetes is neuropathy. This is interference with nerve function, and is best known from the numbness in the feet and lower legs, and sometimes a kind of phantom pain in the affected parts. The same neuropathy also interferes with reflexes and other things.

Among the other interference problems is the operation of the autonomic nervious system, which is separate from the sensory nerves and from the motor control nerves. It controls such automatic functions as the increase in heart effort required when standing up, much of the peristasis (muscular "moving along" motions) in the digestive system, etc. some kinds of neuropathy increase the chances for reflux disease type problems.

So, yes, sometimes it does, along with quite a few other things... Diabetes is a pain, except fo rthose with neuropathy who don't have the shooting pains in their feet.
