My father is 50 and has diabetes with an HbA1c of 6.8. He feels light nerve pain in his stomach when standing or walking, but he is fine lying down. All abdominal tests are clear. What could be the issue?

Possible Cause: The light nerve pain in the stomach area could be due to diabetic neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes, even with an HbA1c of 6.8. This condition can affect various body parts, including the abdomen, and may be influenced by posture or movement.
Management Recommendations:a. Medication: Consider discussing medications like Aldonil (Epalrestat) with your doctor, which can help manage diabetic neuropathy by preventing nerve damage.b. Lifestyle Adjustments: Maintain good blood sugar control through diet, exercise, and regular monitoring.c. Symptom Monitoring: Keep track of pain patterns and any new symptoms.
Further Evaluation: If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider to explore other potential causes and adjust treatment as necessary.
