I've had a nasty throat infection for the past few days, not been measuring FBGs. But they're probably very low as I can barely eat. Seeing the doc today. I suspect I've now got a bacterial infection. Can barely eat or drink, losing too much weight. Will hopefully get some antibiotics by tomorrow

Won't post for a couple of days. Take care guys.
