Question:
My daughter wakes up every morning (since diagnosis) with "stomach ache"
and has it in evenings as well. She describes it as a full feeling. Not real
pain and not nausea (as far as I can tell). It is the first thing that
she says as soon as she awakens. Ever heard of this before?
Answer:
Morning and evening stomach aches may be related to low blood sugars and
this could be fairly easy to check. Another possibility is a condition that
used to be called Apley's syndrome and rather simply it would suggest that
these are the times of day when there is most focus on the diabetes and the
abdominal pain is a reflection of anger or fear
in relation to the diagnosis. If it goes on and is not related to blood
sugars in any particular way, it might help to talk to a medical social
worker with experience of diabetes in children.
