Hi everyone, this is Chermc and I am new to the forum, I have been a diabetic for approximately 3 years.
I have had a very bad cold/cough for about 3 weeks. I noticed that my vision was getting a bit blurred over the weekend but got worse on Monday. I went to the hospital and took a blood test which showed my reading as 27+. My reading has never been anywhere near that high before. The hospital checked my urine which contained a high level of Ketones (not sure exactly what that is). I was given insulin on a drip which reduced my blood sugar to a reading of 9 the following morning. I was put back on metformin and given Gliclazide. My sugar reading in the evening roses to 22. This morning I was given another medication Sitagliptin as my blood sugar remained high. I have just taken a reading and it is 15.8.
Has anyone experienced anything this?
