Anonymous Question T2, levels all over the place, possible virus? advice needed.

[Anonymous Question]

I have had T2 for 2 years. Unusually, yesterday my levels dropped to 5.0 making me feel ill. I ate a small tea, but during the night was vomiting for 2 hours. My levels then went to 13.9. Could that in itself have made me vomit, or is it more likely to be a virus. I felt really ill all night, but this morning was able to have a cup of tea (no sugar obviously). So far so good, but my level is now 9.0 - better but not goo d. What is the best course of action in these cases?

Are you on any meds?

Yes, illness or infection can put the blood sugar up. There is a vomiting bug going around, so keep an eye on things. Keep testing your blood sugar, keep hydrated by sipping fluids, and don't be afraid to speak to yoyr surgery for advice if you need to.

I hope you feel better soon
