[QUOTE="Adrian1981, post: 528756, member: 20722"] Hi all, Just wanted to share my frustration with you. On Friday I started to get sudden onsets of abdominal pain. There were no other symptoms. The pain appeared in waves of around 8 hrs. On Monday night the pain got so intense, I had the urge to be sick and was short of breath. I took myself to the walk in medical centre where they did a few checks. They detected keytones in my urine and as a precaution took me to hospital. I spent the night in hospital and after my blood was stable and the keytones had gone they sent me home but had been made to fast for my stay of 20hrs. There was no investigation to the cause of the stomach pains. On Wednesday night the stomach pain and retching returned and before I knew it I was back in hospital. I have all had sorts of blood test and an ultrasound on my stomach and they cannot find the reason for the pain. They are now sending me home and told me the whole thing is down to my blood sugar levels and to go home and sort it out. My immediate concern was that when I came into A&E for the second time my bm was 9.0 and there were 0.2 keytones in my blood. My thought was that surly it's not my glucose causing the problem. Whilst I have been in hospital for the second time my bm has remained stable between 9 and 12 and no keytones but they have had me fasting for 36 hrs. They wouldn't let me correct my bm level with insulin and also they told me to not do my Lantus. I am frustrated that they are blaming my Diabeties when it was stable when I came and the problem still re occurred. It was only when I went home and started eating again it returned. I have had DiAbeties for 30 years and have had up and down readings but never any associated pains. What are everyone else's thoughts? Adrian I can't offer guaranteed advice but I am certainly willing to share my 30 years T1 experience with others [/QUOTE]
