Feeling a bit down today
my sugars are up a bit [8.6 before eating] so may be getting something or is it the higher levels making me feel yuk
bit of a chicken and egg thing isn't it
A shame really as sun is out for a change. i have done some half hearted gardening but now feel like just going to bed
 
Hi Susan, have you eaten anything different that may have spiked you. Your bg may spike a bit if you have an infection - when you say you feel a bit yuk do you mean nausea, dizzyness or what? Most drugs will take a week or so to take effect as it builds up in the body so although your reading is a bit high now, it may gradually reduce. If you are feeling sick, and don't feel like eating I had some good ideas when I posted a week or so ago - a vegetable stock with hot water an a tbsp cooked rice mixed with low fat yoghurt which are gentle on the stomach but still gives your tum something to work on. If you feel like going to bed, do that if it is practical for you (not easy if you've got a family to take care of first) but at least get some rest and keep the fluids up. Hope you feel better soon.
 
thank you
I did meet up with all the family and had a cup cake on wednesday so that may have done it I suppose

I have also been VERY busy and stopped today so probably just limp from that

Got a bit of a headache and feel 'detached' if you know what I mean.
 
Not a good day for you - get someone to give you a big hug. Failing that, give yourself a big hug. Put your feet up, if that's possible - rest and know that tomorrow will probably be better.

I know that 8.6 before eating can be a real downer. But it could be worse. Just a blip, I bet - and being busy is stressful.

Take care and I hope you feel better tomorrow.xxx
 
Had a nice hot bath and chilled out.
Feel better now about it all. Still got headache but not anxious about it so it is OK

Thank you
