Pain around your navel that's worse on an empty stomach and right after waking, and eases a bit once you eat, fits a pattern doctors often see with gastritis or a peptic ulcer, sometimes linked to H. pylori infection. Since you're diabetic, keeping your
sugar well controlled also matters here, as poorly controlled
diabetes can slow stomach emptying and add to this kind of discomfort.
Next Steps
An endoscopy or an H. pylori breath/stool test would clarify the cause, so ask your physician about these. Avoid spicy food, caffeine and skipping meals for long stretches, and keep your
diabetes medicines and
sugar checks on schedule.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if you notice black stools, vomiting, or the pain gets steadily worse.
