Tummy bug question

[Jaxx01]

Hey guys!

I've come down with a tummy bug at about 3am thus morning it's not pleasant at all I can't keep anything down!

My levels are a little high today although ice not eaten anything, is thus normal? Also what do I do about my metformin? If I take it without any food in me then I know it will just make it all worse!!

Please help

You poor thing, I hope you get better quick. Your body is fighting virus or infection of some sort, so yes, its normal to have higher bg levels as a result.
If I were you I would give the metformin a miss today, have plenty of soothing drinks, eg fruit/herbal teas, or warmed coconut milk with a little sweetener, cinnamon, cocoa powder or ginger added.
Or maybe you can have a light vegetable soup/bouillon, home made would be best, use lots of fresh vegetables.
You have to make sure that you avoid becoming dehydrated, let nature take its course, just relax, rest up, if you dont feel any better by tomorrow contact your GP.

Must be doing the rounds Jaxx, I have one too thankfully the vomitting stopped late last night, and I just managed a hard boiled egg. Take it easy and feel better soon, best wishes Jane xx

I have been attacked by it too and all I could manage was dry burgen toast and plenty of water....I didnt take my meds either

Plenty of liquid so that you dont dehydrate but it is best not to have any dairy until the bug has gone Hot marmite or oxo is quite soothing .If you are very hungry a chopped apple can help if you can manage the carbs . Hope you feel better soon

Me too - survived all week in India, and then succumbed to a sandwich in the Airport lounge on the way home. Haven't eaten in 48hours
