What Causes Nausea,vomiting And Raised Blood Sugar?
This morning I woke up feeling a nausea I usually associate with low blood sugar. (Happens a lot.) I got up to eat something and promptly vomited up stomach acid (there was nothing else in my stomach.) I was curious, so I decided to test my blood sugar levels on my mom s little machine, and it came out as 116. All my symptoms fit hypoglycemia, but according to the machine my blood sugar is a little high. I haven t vomited again, and I ate a few grapes and felt better. Is there an explanation for all this?

Hello there,
From the reading of 116 mg/dl it is evident that you did not have hypoglycemia. Now the question arises why do you develop frequent low blood sugars? Are you a diabetic on insulin/meds? Sometimes early morning empty stomach nausea vomiting could be due to acidity.
If you do get frequent nausea in the mornings alongwith low blood sugars (If now your vomiting has subsided then you dont need to worry.
Take care.
