[QUOTE="Blip22, post: 2463559, member: 58146"] Hi!Are you able to check you glucose level on your meter? Because if your blood sugar it's high and has been high a lot then you may be dehydrated and should try drinking some water. If you had food with quite a lot of sugar or generally high in carbohydrate your blood sugar could have got very high suddenly, acute hyperglycemia can give your a very severe stomach ache (acute abdomen. High blood sugar can make you dehydrated and so cause headaches. On the other hand you can also get headaches with Hypoglycemia - low blood sugar. Or it may be a winter bug coming on, or something else. So check bloodsugar if it's high say above 10mmol, take you prescribed insulin and drink a couple of glasses of water, if it's low, say 4mmol then have some digestive biscuits followed by a proper meal, if it's below 3.1mmol then take 2 or 3 glucose tablets followed by a 3 or 4 digestive biscuits and a proper meal, and a glass or two of water. Since you've been in hospital recently, if it persists or you are worried give the doctor or diabetic nurse a ring. Lots of luck, hope you feel better soon. [/QUOTE]
