I'm ill for 1st time and confused help.

Sorry you have a bug, not fun.
Here are the normal sick day rules.

Personally, I'd like to emphasise that if your glucose levels return to 'normal' but you still have moderate+ ketones then sip some carb containing drink ie orange juice or coca cola (flat is supposed to be good), you will still need insulin to deal with the ketones but you don't want to have a hypo.
The important thing to remember is that you must continue basal insulin and you will need some rapid to reduce ketones.
If you develop high ketones, whatever the BG level then you must get medical help.

Awww I feel for you , not nice for you roblem:
And so close to christmas with a young toddler too .

Keep to the sick day rules as much as is possible for you .
Not easy I know - rest up and keep eye on both your BG levels and keytones .

Eat lite and plain things like scrambled egg or couple of crackers .
When you start to feel like a nibble again.

However, if you get/feel worse do use your NHS as it really is better to be safer
than sorry later.

Ask any questions you need or if unsure of things.
Hope you start to feel better 'SOON' ...
Cant be easy for you, with a young toddler to care for currently.

Love and thoughts .

Hi

My hubby was told by a doctor a good few years ago to eat boiled rice and green bananas they help bind you plus you will be getting the carbs from the rice, even if you try a few mouthfuls its better than nothing.

Hope you feel better soon
