Still fighting this virus, feels like it's got the upper hand at present as coughing for England. Interestingly it doesn't seem to be having a marked effect on FBG. Although that might be because of the medicinal alcohol I had last night. Had a disturbed sleep, got up at 03:33, tested and FBG were 5.0, had a cup of hot water and watched tv awhile before going back to bed. Got up again at 7:15 and tested; bloods 5.4.

Anyone know of a good, safe, non alcoholic cough remedy that won't impact bloods?

@Ryhia to ease cough I make golden milk, using turmeric and ginger, a teaspoon of each,( dried is just as good as the fresh roots) a pinch of black pepper, a teaspoon of coconut oil, in a cup of warm unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk. Very soothing. Also do steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil before going to bed.
Hope you feelbetter soon.

Thanks - you have mentioned Golden Milk previously I just couldn't remember what it was called, I will certainly give this recipe a go.

Hope you have got over your recent bout of sickness and that you managed to avoid the steroids.

Thanks again, C.
