Oh dear sounds like you have some form or stomach "bug" Hope you get over it soon and watch your blood glucose levels if you arent well. Make sure you drink plenty of water (if you can of course)
How are you feeling now?
Hope its a bit better!

So sorry. Get better soon. Winter vomiting bug rife here. Keep up your fluids
Hi
Thanks for your replies
I don't know what's going on I have been having bouts of extreme sickness and dizziness.
I am on metformin 2X500 and statin 1 a day.
I went to the pharmacist but he said take paracetamol just in case it's fever but I know I don't have fever, I will give it one more day today as I am so restless coz of this feeling I am not sitting at one place for more than a minute. I am having more fluids but nothing is working. I also checked my BG is ok it's the same ranging in 4.5 to 5.5 nothing more or less.

II'm a bit late coming to this thread so I hope you are feeling much better. The only thing that occurred to me was maybe it is Metformin? I used to have terrible bouts of nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea when I was on it. I had also read that it can make you sensitive to certain foods, so it might be worth monitoring to see if some foods are aggravating this. One tip the dietician gave me was to eat something every two to three hours, which really helped settled the nausea. The other option is something my GP thinks I might have, which is gastroparesis. This is a complication of diabetes where there has been damage to the nerves and muscles in your stomach which slows down digestion thus causing nausea and vomiting. Hopefully it is none of these, and just a passing bug.
