[QUOTE="therower, post: 1714344, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=159134]@K-ate[/USER] . Sorry that you've been struck down by the dreaded flu virus. I was unfortunate enough to get hit about 5 weeks ago. Like you my BS levels went completely awol. I use a dexcom cgm and I was amazed how my BS levels seem to be influenced by my body temperature. Whenever my temperature rose so did my BS. I spent 4/5 days with numbers in the teens, dropping below 10 only with crazy amounts of bolus. Was checking for ketones but none showed during the time I was ill. One tip , drink , drink and drink. It took a further 7/10 days after I felt " better " and able to get up and about before my ratios returned back to normal. Get well soon. If in any doubt, seek advice. P.S. Saying isn't necessarily doing;);) [/QUOTE]
