[QUOTE="Sharlieboo, post: 126909, member: 24965"] I'm in the third week of having a chest infection/respiratory tract infection. I had one course of antibiotics that did nothing. A few days 'off' been prescribed an inhaler and more antibiotics and feel awful. What can I do to shake this? I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever feel better. Worse still over the past week my eating habits have been terrible :oops: It's not that I've been really bad things but rather than have one or two biscuits every couple of days, I've been eating 4 or 5 with a cup of tea a couple of times a day. Also I've been eating the kids' chocolate digestives which I'm sure can't be good. :oops: I've been careful with my carbs but have had a real biscuit downfall. Have I really screwed up my chances of getting a good reading when I go back for my next diabetic check up beginning of May? My reading was 9.2 last time, tho dosage of metforim has been increased since then (doubled) and that as my first ever check-up since being diagnosed. I'm feeling angry with myself but in same respect have been feeling so awful that at the time I seem to be able to justify it to myself. :oops: Do antibiotics or just being ill affect sugar levels? I've been sick several times and am even wondering if the metforim has been staying in my system long enough to do any good. Does anyone have any ideas for 'safe' pick-me-ups when feeling poorly and to restore energy levels without overdosing on carbs and sugar? Sharlie [/QUOTE]
