Sickness bugs and hypos

[Becky1984]

how do ppl manage sickness and not having hypos, I can't keep anything in and got very little appetite had a pretty low reading for me earlier....

What medication are you on Becky? When I find things difficult to keep down I find something like sipping on a full-sugar drink helps to keep levels up a bit - ginger beer is good, as the ginger also helps to settle the stomach 🙂

Hope you are feeling better very soon 🙂

Dapagliflozin.... i have trouble maintaining a good level anyway, but I'm struggling to get to the 4s, got coke and orange juice

It might be worth getting in touch with your surgery or out of hours doctor for advice - to see if you need to hold off on the medication until you feel better 🙂

That's what I would do. Also agree with Northerner might need to take your dosage down a little. Hope you feel better xx
