[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2175434, member: 352098"] You haven't just got a cold, it's a respiratory infection from what you descibe. You could do with a doctor to check whether your chest is clear, to make sure you're not developing pneumonia or bronchitis. As a type 1 with this sort of problem, you should be able to get an emergency appointment. Your ears, nose and throat are all affected, sinusitis would explain the headache and it's not getting any better. That's enough reason to get an appointment. Make clear to your work people that it isn't just a cold. One of the standard questions you are asked when you go back is if you had to see a doctor. If you don't, when you are telling them you have had a problem with ketones, it makes no sense. I've had bronchitis a couple of times, so I know how ghastly that made me feel. Look after yourself.
