Hi Ailsa
small sips of lucozade for the next 15-20 minutes , test , set an alarm for 2am . test again
and try and sleep between now and then
 
Yes, Lucozade or regular Coke is best. I've had some nasty viruses that caused vomiting and found tiny sips of either of those helped.

Unfortunately, when you're diabetic you can't just sleep illnesses off. Keep your meter by your bed along with Coke or Lucozade and set alarms to test as often as you need.

I hope you feel better soon and that you get some sleep.

Orange juice is one of the worst to drink when vomiting. The acid in it can make you vomit more. Can also damage stomach lining on empty stomach and oesophagus lining when vomited back up.
