Kidney and back pain, anyone?

[kamerau]

Hi all

I am a fairly well controlled type-1, diagnosed two years ago. In the last month or so I have found that when my sugars approach 4.0 or even dip below 5.0, I get a crippling stomach ache / kidney and lower back pain, which lasts for two or three hours.

Anyone else ever experienced this or got any suggestions on how to address it? I don't have a kidney infection and the doc says this may just be my body alerting me to a hypo.

Unusual hypo awareness symptom and at a loss why it would last 2-3 hours, especially as 4-5mmol isn't technically a hypo. Not wishing to dismiss what your Dr has said, but I would go back and ask for a second opinion from another Dr.
