Hoping someone may be able to throw some light on this as healthcare professionals don't seem to know how to treat this.  

Taken into hospital as in a great deal of abdominal pain - distended abdomen and low blood sugar.  Had CT scans and Xrays and have been advised that a mass close to the pancreas. Waiting to have a biopsy to see what the mass is, but in the meantime, my blood sugar levels keep dropping dangerously low.  Hospital staff keep giving me foods and drinks to bring up the sugar levels but after a while they drop again.

It seems that may be sent home once biopsies taken and am very worried that will end up back in A&E due to blood sugar levels dropping again.

Wondered if anyone else has any information about this and/or advice?
