Hi 'I'm Aileen but right now have succumed to a sickness bug - my Blood sugars initially dropped and as was being sick every couple of hours didn't do my overnight jab. Very difficult to manage the situation as nothing even liquids failed to stay down.
This morning I was high (25 so did morning Levemir). That recovered the level to 12.
Have had a bowl of cornflakes and injected for that but not feeling confident it will stay down!
What are we supposed to do in this situation?
 
hopefully the worse of it is over, it sounds like you are a new T1-1.5, have you been booked in to a DAFNE course yet?
if you throw up the cornflakes, sip some sugar water
