Verified answer

Diabetes: Persons with diabetes may develop nausea because of gastroparesis, a condition in which the stomach fails to empty properly and is likely due to the generalized neuropathy (failure of the nerves in the body to send proper signals to and from the brain) that is a complication of the disease.

People with diabetes can also develop nausea and vomiting should their blood sugars become abnormally high or low (hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia) because the sugar and insulin balance is disturbed.

Diseases or illness: Many illnesses associated with the intra-abdominal organs can produce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. These include digestive organ diseasessuch as:■ Hepatitis

■ Gallbladder disease

■ Pancreatitis

■Crohn's disease

■Kidney diseases (for example, kidney stones, infection, kidney failure)

■Some forms of cancer

TAKE HIM TO THE ER!!!

When a diabetic vomits it's very dangerous!

They could go into diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

Check him for ketones and seek medical attention immediately!

In the meantime have him drink lots of fluids, especially with electrolytes; because he needs to replace what he has lost.

These episodes of vomiting are probably caused by his blood sugar going extremely high and his body making ketones. This is vey dangerous because it changes the pH of the blood. So he doesn't necessarily have an infection but he is very sick!

Hope he feels better

Good luck

Check for diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially life-threatening complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. It happens predominantly in those with type 1 diabetes, but it can occur in those with type 2 diabetes under certain circumstances.

Ketone testing is most often done if you have type 1 diabetes and:--

* Your blood sugar is higher than 240 mg/dL

* You have an illness such as pneumonia, heart attack, or stroke

* Nausea or vomiting occur

* You are pregnant

It could be lots of things but I don't hear much of diabetics constantly vomiting. I vomit after eating bad meat or fish, or mixing milk with lemon or something. So I think your brother has a different origin of cause than diabetes, consult with his care team.

It can be gastroparesis; which is gastric atony with delayed emptying and unpredictable absorption.

1. it may present with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, reflux, constipation, or diarrhea.

2. treatment is metoclopramide 30mg/day by mouth in divided doses.

take him to a physician.
