Soory to hear this @Bubbsie :( I hope you are feeling better very soon. I don't normally take anything for a cold, but if you do then I'd suggest asking the pharmacist what they recommend that won't raise your blood sugar levels i.e. that doesn't contain honey/glucose etc. Your levels are likely to be higher whilst you fight the infection, so don't be alarmed if they go up a bit.
 
Thanks Alan. I'm not expecting the review to be of much help. Last time they told me to try to stop the gastroparesis medications and as a result my BGs have been the worse that they have been since I went onto the pump. I just want them to endorse me having the medication and not suggesting again a life of pureed food.
 
Morning all! 6.7 for me. Probably a result of the 3 poppadoms & large chipatti I had with my curry last night, though was only 6.1 2hrs after. Don't care though as l intended last night to be a carb fest.🙂
 
Just scored a 3.8. Seems a bit on the low side, but I'm not complaining. Now to get stuck into my vanilla porridge. Yummers 🙂

Disappointed with a 6.2 this morning
 
A 7.2 this morning. I'm into my third week of trying to shake off this cold so hope yours goes quickly Bubbsie.

Going away next weekend so need to feel bug free.
