sore stomach

hi
my 11year old son has had type 1 for one year now, he is on lantus and novarapid, control according to hospital is good although for the past month he has had sore stomachs most days, sometimes a few times a day, the pain(and sick feeling) can be when his readings are low, higher or i think when he has had large carb meal and taken a lot of insulin to cover, resulting in sugars going quickly up and down. can anyone help as he is a great boy and doing well and this is worrying him and us especially as he has a 5 day trip to france coming up with the school when he is also going to have a lot on his plate trying to estimate carbs without our help.
thanks

Hi im not very advanced in diabetes as i've only had it since November,
but i get a sore tummy too !
My doctor said it was due to me injecting in my belly all the time...
Does he? So anyway i stopped injecting for a short amount of time, and i no longer have a sore tummy. Maybe he should try that
sorry if this is useless,, :lol:

Stopped injecting all together or just injected in a different body part?
 
hi
david very rarely injects into his stomach so it cant be that, have visited gp and had him tested for celeac and test result was negative, still happening most days.

Its maybe time to ask your gp to refer your lad to see a gastroenterologist at your local infirmary, this way they can carry a more thorough investigation.

Hi Rohna

I was wondering if u ever got this resolved as my son too has been commplaining of sore stomach for a while now he has been type1 for 2 1/2 yrs 13 years old now x
 
hello
we r still getting sore stomachs, he has also now been tested for some sort of stomach bacteria, cant remember the name (pyloric?), it was also negative, he also burps a lot when he has these sore stomachs, been told at last clinic visit to try good old fashioned acid stomach remedy, havent tried yet but worth a go, funnily its mostly at bed time and when his sugars are low or fluctuating.
