Hi and thanks for the query,
It is important to get a proper clinical review first under this circumstance. Abdominal pain in diabetics most of the time is usually due to uncontrolled blood glucose levels. It is proper to get a proper fasting blood glucose, screen for any probable infections and do an abdominal ultrasound if necessary as per results of the clinical review. Kind regards
