Oh no :( I've caught a cold or something. Right now I feel like i've accidently swallowed a cheese grater 😱

BS are 11.1 at the moment and I gave insulin for my breakfast (3u) with was plenty enough and its only gone up. Don't realllyyyy want to keep giving insulin without food just to get it down.

Any good things to soothe throats? Obviously theres honey and lemon!

Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly at the moment. Remember honey is sugary😱 You could try gargling with warm water containing 1/2 tsp (2.5g) each of baking powder and salt, or a disolveable painkiller. I hope you feel better soon. Garlic can be a good antiseptic. Sheena

I find the best thing for my sore throats are "Strepsils Extra Strength" I spoke to the pharmasist told him the problem and that I was Diabetic, and that is what he suggested, All I can say is that they have worked for me without effecting my sugar levels.
