[QUOTE="sugarybibs, post: 120145, member: 11003"] Hi timewind, i know its awful when we are ill.I remember having flu last year i was so ill i couldnt move out of the bed., but like everthing else us poor diabetics still have to suffer more than people without diabetes when they get flu.My sugar was also very high up to even 20 and its awful because you still have to get out of bed all the time to go to the loo because our sugar level goes that high.We are told to stay in bed test blood sugars regularly make sure we have plenty of fluids.Who wants to do blood tests when we are so ill anyway.I and probably many others end up so exhausted (one is with flu anyway)with getting in and out of bed so often it must be so much easier if you get flu and do not have diabetes because you can just drink and sleep when you want :evil: :evil:I know i must sound bitter but when someone tells me they were ill with flu (i know its really bad anyway)i always think imagine if they had diabetes as well as flu at least they can rest with it dont have to testblood sugars and have long sleeps and lie ins!!!!Anyway timewind thats my moan for the day i hope you are feeling better and your blood sugars are near to normal.
