Insulin
I've had chronic tooth pain for 2 weeks now, this week (starting from Monday) I couldn't eat anything because it hurt so much. I've been eating little bits and taking my background insulin. Should I be taking my background insulin or not? I was told I should by my DSN. I should hopefully get into the dentist tomorrow or go to the doctor tomorrow, one or the other. What should I do till then?

I've been taking, co-codamol, codeine and paracetamol. Also been coughing and gagging but can't be sick as my stomach is empty.
 
YES - keep taking your background insulin. That's very important.
