Just signed up to the forum. Can’t recall if I had signed in prev.
Had Diabetes diagnosis in 2010 linked in with a depression battle.
Was high Hb1ac around 86 when first diagnosed put on Glicazide 80 mg and Statins immediately.
Clear correlation between weight and Hb1ac scores. Hit a plateau on weight loss so halved Glicazide to 40 mg.
During past few years lost about 3st via diet and exercise hitting a Hb1ac low of 45,
Scores edged up and held at around 50-53 whilst on 40mg Glicazide.
Last 3 years had onset of stomach pains which originated after weight loss didn’t see a link to meds given length of time on them.
This year had my first hypo severe enough to call emergency services. Couldn’t get solids down to boost sugars but two glasses of orange juice appeared to work. At this time had just started a course of antibiotics.
Assessment was that as I had good control and hypo med related so taken off all meds and set up for a 6 month review.
stomach pain attacks which were approx 3-4 week intervals reduced substantially to only two one mild and one severe (today)
So appeared meds may irritate, whatever the problem is.
unfortunately Hb1ac scores have rocketed back to 60 2 weeks ago despite feeling ok. Still off meds trying to get back with diet and exercise.
Re started all exercise regime 8-10000 steps a day and cut calorie intake to around 1400 from around 1900-2000.
Been strict on this last two weeks. Lost 4 lb.
As I write just recovering from a severe stomach pain attack this morning.
This might be linked to low sugars given a tiredness link
Seems when weight loss get to set point pain restarts.
Never been able to get to the bottom of the pain issue but clearly intestinal inflammation remains there becoming sensitive depending on system balance on fat and sugars.
Not aware of any direct link between low/ high sugars and stomach pain in diabetes.
wondered if anyone has any similar experiences/ history.
