What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain When My Sugar Levels Are High?

I am a type one diabetic. I usually struggle to keep sugar levels down to where they should be but periodically I crash. I have been in the 40 s numerous times and have into the upper 20 s twice. When I have been in the 20 s it was accompanied with severe abdominal pain. What causes that pain?

Hello,

Abdominal pain can be due to hyperglycemia. Pain is due to bloating, distension may lead to nausea or vomiting. This is a GI disorder called gastroparesis due to poor glycemic control. Enteric neuropathy causes poor intestinal motility, secretion and absorption leading to discomfort & pain.

Take food low in fat, chew food properly, stay adequately hydrated, do regular exercises, avoid constipation, take smaller quantity of food multiple times. Take Omeprazol and Spasmol if required.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
