Diabetes and nausea are two conditions that are commonly found together. In most cases diabetes nausea is caused by low glucose levels, or hypoglycemia, in the blood. Hyperglycemia or high blood sugar can also cause nausea and vomiting. Nausea and diabetes is also a common symptom of gestational diabetes as well.

 

Diabetes Nausea and Vomiting

 

Another condition which may cause nausea with diabetes is gastroparesis. This is a delayed emptying in the stomach. In order to move food down into the small intestine for digestion the stomach contracts. This movement of food is caused by the vagus nerve. When this nerve is damaged, the muscles of the stomach and intestines do not work properly. Food then either slows or stops moving through the digestive tract completely. Many times this causes diabetes nausea and vomiting of undigested foods. Diabetes and other metabolic disorders is a common cause of gastroparesis.
