Can high blood sugar cause a burning feeling in the upper stomach, and could this symptom be related to my mother's anemia (low red blood cell count of 8) or her diabetes medication, Glycomet GP 1?
Yes, that burning sensation in her upper stomach can be related to her medication, Glycomet GP 1 (which contains metformin and glimepiride), as stomach upset is a common side effect. While high blood sugar itself doesn't typically cause direct burning, her anemia (with a low count of 8) is important to address, as low red blood cells can sometimes be linked to stomach irritation or require investigation. I gently recommend discussing these symptoms with her doctor. They can safely check her blood counts and adjust her diabetes treatment to make her much more comfortable.
