What Causes Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea In A Diabetic Patient?

I have been feeling unwell for a few days, and before that I have been urinating frequently for a few weeks. I have had diarrhea yesterday, but today have had very pale stools. I have frequent dull pain, which I thought was like period cramps, but it is more like wind pain in my stomach. I am a type 2 diabetic, but do not know what my sugar level is. Should I go to the doctor to be checked out.

Hello,

For you info, frequent urination is one of the common symptoms of diabetes and sometimes abdominal pain and diarrhea is not serious.

It usually is caused by:
1. Food intolerances - such as lactose or gluten intolerance
2. Irritable Bowel Syndrome
3. Drinking too much coffee or alcohol

For your info, only medication will not help attain normal health unless you change your life style and food habits.

As diabetes like heart problem, is outcome of bad food habits and derailed life style, can be controlled to some extent by Avoiding fried fast foods, smoking, drinking, sleeplessness, worry , anxiety, anger, dehydration, and constipation.

Modification in your life style - A balanced diet, including all essential nutrients - vitamins, minerals, antioxidants in natural form and sufficient hydration, regular physical activity such as Yoga, Pranayama, deep breathing exercises under trained guide, meditation and rest help you stand in good stead.

Take care of your blood sugar level. It must be within 85 to 120 fasting and 120 to 180 pp, should not go above 200 in any case. Visit your doctor off and on for regular checkup and advice.

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

Regards,
Dr. Suchda
