Didn't get out of bed till 2 pm today and like a few days ago I could have stayed there till tea time

Do some of you guys get these sort of days ?

I am on a medication regime that the medical team think is a good one , appropriate for my condition and I have recently made a huge effort to cut out takeaway rubbish , bread , potatoes , rice and pasta

I am really beginning to eat well and take this condition seriously ......maybe my body is reacting to the lack of carbs ?

Are these days what are called SICK days ?

Thanks for your support and tips

Hello Paul,
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 11 months ago. In June this year I tested positive for Covid for the first time. It wasn't like having a cold at all. I just had zero energy and stayed in bed for three days. My husband tested positive for Covid a few days before me (also for the first time). His lack of energy lasted for weeks.
I hope you are feeling better now.

It is difficult to speculate, but a goodly proportion of folks experience carb 'flu when the make significant reductions to their carb intake. It could be you're going through that (drink plenty water and it should pass), or you could maybe have a viral thing.

See how you go over the weekend, perhaps.

Just to be clear, carb flu isn't the flu like we have in winter. It's a form of withdrawal. I appreciate the covid test doesn't relate to that.
