Hi,
Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia occurs when the level of glucose in the blood drops below normal levels. The most common cause of low blood sugar is due to diabetes medication, but other causes include excessive alcohol consumption, certain medical conditions, and not eating enough food.
Nausea and stomach pain are common symptoms associated with low blood sugar, as the body is trying to signal that it needs more glucose. In some cases, low blood sugar can be a symptom of an underlying pancreatic disorder such as pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer. An elevated level of 1100 on bloodwork could indicate an issue with the pancreas, such as pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, but further tests such as ultrasound are necessary to determine the exact cause.
It is important to speak with a healthcare professional about any episodes of low blood sugar and associated symptoms. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause and may include changes in diet, medication adjustments, or surgery in some cases.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
