Sick- help!

Whenever illness strikes me, all previous logic regarding my blood sugars tend to get twisted upside down. Even though it's annoying the only thing that helps me is to focus on healing from the illness and avoid extra stress. Doing some testing/calculations to adjust my dosages tends to help temporarily but this can be a bit of a headache.

It could be a digestion issue if the food is taking a long time to have an impact on your blood sugar...or perhaps since you haven't been eating as much your body is using the carbs more efficiently? I wouldn't worry too much and just focus on rest/recovery, you'll be back in no time!

Best wishes

Hello @beckham12 With illness it's good to have a drink to hand, so something like lucozade, although it's reduced sugar it's still pretty effective for keeping BG levels up, fruit juices tend to be too acidic for upset tums, hope you feel better soon

Get well soon! Make sure you test more frequently than you otherwise would, and run your blood sugars a little higher in order to avoid lows. Also, tell someone that you aren't feeling well! They can check up on you and can help out in case of an emergency.
