Hi
@Gigi K , Most of us T1Ds have been there or will do at some stage.
Do you have a sick day plan that you and the diabetes nurse have worked out for these times??
Sort of like: up long acting insulin X amount, up short-acting insulin before meals Y amount, do some correction doses with BSL above Z but try not to overdo it and end up on a high-low-high see-saw??
As
@Tophat1900 and
@Prem51 say, it will pass, and keep in touch with your nurse/doctor a la
@himtoo. Use distraction as
@helensaramay suggests and know that we are all wishing you well with
@Robinredbreast at the head of the queue.
Everything seems worse when we are unwell with BSLs bouncing around like hyperactive rubber ball.
If you can read up on
@Mel dCP 's story, in the thread Healed Eyes, (use the search box, Right upper corner of Forum page)
that can give you some reassurance about the future.
I hope you can find some glimmer of gain whilst in your current state - does this get you out of doing the dishes, preparing meals, putting the bin out etc?? If you cannot easily lay flat due to blocked nose etc, does that mean you can watch more movies ?
? Do some internet searches like: Does taking Vitamin D in winter prevent colds or shorten how long they last ??
Any videos of Victor Borge performing? Other comedy with lots of laughter?
As others have said let us know how you go including a tissues used count !!
