[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 117698, member: 8110"] John Even if an illness isn't directly related to diabetes, It can send your Bg into a steep climb. Do you have the facility to test for ketones in urine,or can you send someone out to get you some from the pharmacy. they are quite cheap. I say this because high BG plus ketones is deemed a medical emergency. If the BG goes up, do what you can to keep it down. Drinking plenty( water or rehydration fluid) helps. Keep your medication on schedule.Except insulin to coveer meals. If you continue to feel ill, ring NHS 24 or your care team. Hope you're better soon Hana You can make an "ad hoc" rehydration fluid, by diluting some real orange juice about 50/50 with water and adding a [u]little[/u]salt. The salt won't taste. [/QUOTE]
