I thought I was getting to grips with this stupid cold...

19.4

:confused:

tested again 16.4

and I feel really bad (oh I've just got up by the way...), thirsty, needing a wee etc etc.

Looks like its no breakfast for me this morning :(

Dyu guys reckon its the cold? (I thought I'd be kicking it by now, I feel much better within myself), nightime hypo and a case of the DP (I do have a pounding headache), a mixture of nerves over tomorrow or a mixture of all 3 :confused:

I dunno Sam. Are you still keeping the fluids intake up and the Paracetamol?

Can you try some breakfast. Porridge or ready brek? Slow release carbs? With some fruit?

It could be a mixture of all three me thinks....

Don't starve yourself Sam!
Can't you have something to eat and bolus for it as usual?

And perhaps a 'gentle' correction for the high after your Novarapid has run out for the bolus to bring yourself down slowly?
 
Hi Sam, sorry to hear that you're still not well. I think you should eat something though, maybe a slice of toast. I believe that this 'switches off' the glucose production from your liver. If it doesn't get this signal, it keeps pushing out the glucose, so paradoxically eating and bolusing might bring you back to a reasonable level.
 
hehe, that would work if we had a toaster. Gunna check my levels now...wait for iiiiiiitttttt...*drumroll* 16.9...:confused: injected nearly an hour ago

maybe ill have that banana...
 
Remember what I said elsewhere about fluid absorption? It might be as well to try hot drinks, copious amounts of tea or decaff and if you have any sleeping pills, take one tonight so you'll get a good rest for tomorrow. Large doses of vitamin C wouldn't hurt either, I'm told you can't overdose on the stuff.
