Getting a cold

[Northerner]

How do I know? Because my blood sugar has risen from 7.1 mmol/l 2 hours after lunch to 8.4 mmol/l 4 hours after lunch. If I didn't have a meter I wouldn't know I have a cold - I have felt a little under the weather but not bad enough to think there was anything going on. 😱 Hope it doesn't stick around too long!

Hope it doesn't cause you too much grief Alan.

Thanks Mike 🙂 It's going to be hard to stop myself opening my Christmas bottle of Southern Comfort though if it turns into man-flu! 😱

My poor husband has the horrid throwing up bug that's going around. He looks awful. Hope I don't get it!

Hope you get well soon x

Get well soon wishes to you Alan and to your husband Megan.

Get well soon wishes to you Alan and to your husband Megan.

I haven't got a husband called Megan! Oh, hold on - I see what you mean! 😉

Thank you! 🙂 Megan, I hope your hubby gets well soon, and you don't get it!

Hot toddy required, me thinks

 

[Northerner]

Hmm...7.7 this morning, after going to bed on 4.1 + a jelly baby. Obviously the cold is taking old - I've been waking in the low 5s lately.

Hope you feel better soon. My males have had it, it lasts a bout a week and a half before it stops being man flu.

Hi Northener sorry to hear that you're not feeling very well. I'm certain that Southern Comfort is an excellent cure

Same boat Alan but managed a 6.9 this morn
Take Tina's advice and have a hot toddy I swear by um

 

[Northerner]

Thanks folks 🙂 I'm avoiding opening the SC, once it's open it disappears in no time! 😱 I don't actually feel ill, I'm just going by my otherwise unexplained rise in BG. I've been for a run this morning and although I felt I was moving quite well the time was much slower than I expected, so another indication that my body is fighting an infection. If I didn't have a meter I wouldn't know I was ill! 🙂

Jack Daniels is quite good for coughs, tastes terrible but does the trick...
