Last week, I must have caught some kind of stomach virus that caused diarrhea and severe nausea (without actually vomiting). The thing is, from the moment I started feeling unwell, I noticed that anything I ate took a REALLY long time to raise my BG levels. At one point, I got scared because I...

That's what I've been telling myself for the past 2 days when injecting Tresiba. Of course, without the same effect anymore. I guess it's just a matter of building confidence as I see it doesn't happen again.
