Hi
I'm having my first bout of food poisoning as a diabetic, have not been able to keep anything down at all (not even one sip of water) for about 12 hours. I didn't tale my lantus yesterday as didn't want to contend with hypos as well as constant vomiting.
I've stopped vomiting as frequently now (about 3 hours vomit free) and have managed one weetabix and a glass of orange juice.
However just tested keytones and was +++ (8), my blood sugar was 5.6, the book I have suggests this is dangerous and needs treatment, but is it just because I didn't take lantus yesterday? I don't want to go to hospital and look stupid when they tell me that!!
Any advice appreciated
