Thank you so much, yes if I vomit again will have to call 111 because even though my bg are low surely vomiting and the production of ketones is unusual?

Hello thank you for asking, I really appreciate it, I’m feeling ok not too great, I tested my bg at 10:00 this morning and it was 4.7 and my blood ketones were 0.4 I still feel nauseous though so going to have to monitor incase I vomit again. My abdominals feel achy and burn slightly but that could be do with what you mentioned above as I’ve not been able to eat much so will need to focus on doing that today.
I’ve also been getting headaches on and off but my temperature has been normal it hasn’t gone above 37.4. But I have had an intermittent cough alongside this vomiting and nausea so I don’t really know what that tells me. I’m just in a constant state of panic because of what’s going on and the news. I’m so scared. I will be calling my doctor tomorrow morning. I wish they offered community testing to all type 1 diabetics so that it would put my mind at ease.
Hi,
I empathise with your concern regarding the current "situation."
I know from my own experience with vomiting, stomach acid can burn or irritate the throat?
There is also a wretching feeling too, which can contribute?
I must admit, I have only ever called a doctor out once. Due to this sort of sickness. Traveling through south India with my wife.
We were both ill & I feared for her.
We were both proscribed a powder which was mixed & drunk with water, (slowly.) which helped replace nutrients lost?
Long time ago now..
Consult your HCP at the first opportunity.
& keep us posted on your progress..!
Thank you I will do. I may try drinking some of those soluble vitamin tablets that dissolve in water to see if it helps me regain some energy. Will be calling both my GP and diabetic nurse tomorrow for advice. I’m just scared about going into hospital and contracting the virus there or something I’m so glad I joined this forum it’s been so helpful.
Soluble vitamins wouldn't do you any harm, if you can keep it down. Little & often with the sips.
From my own experience with vomiting..
If you can get a telephone consultation & can comfortably self isolate whilst you recover?
Minimising contact unless absolutly necessary, may well be the best option..
We can't diagnose members on the forum, but a sickness bug would be my guess.. Not pleasant at the best of times.
But do monitor for or if any changing symptoms..
Regarding any anxieties with COVID 19. There have been some encouraging news of diabetics recovering.
Hope this reassures you in that "department."
Hi Jaylee, thank you so much for the advice I have been able to eat some porridge this morning which I hope is a positive sign so will be sipping on some vitamin water in a little while.
Will make contact with my nurse tomorrow. Currently have a headache which I have taken paracetamol for. Will continually monitor. Thank you for the reassuring news about type 1 diabetics coming out on the other side of this.

Hi jayleeNo worries,
If your starting to eat again, you may see a drop in ketone readings?
Here is a link to at least one good news story.. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/diary-dad-coronavirus-day-day-3953592
Hope you feel better soon!
Hi jaylee
So I have just tested and my bg is 5.5 and blood ketone is reading at 0.4 and urine at -/+ not sure what to make of that as I’ve had porridge and have given insulin to cover it so thought it would have bought the blood ketone downwill continue to monitor.

Hello thank you for your kind words, can I ask what is is that causes it and how you regained control? Did you have to go into hospital?This is not uncommon and happened to me at the end of last month, sadly I didn’t have your knowledge or control, keep doing well with those numbers
