Hello,

Feeling ill but still at work. GB is 20.1 this morning and gone down to 17.5 now after 6unit. Dafne course say should use sickday rule but no ketones so unsure of what to do?

Unfortunately there isn't a way to get UN high fast. Just keep monitoring and taking any necessary correction doses. Stay hydrated but take small sips often as drinking alto with high sugars can cause vommiting. What is your job? Are there any duties you should be relieved of whilst your high? Ie exercise should be avoided with high blood sugars. If your job is physical maybe you should go home for tgw day?

I was told that exercise is a good way of reducing sugar levels.

Thank you for replying gwenmai

Thankfully my BG is now 7.1 and no ketones at the moment. Still feeling unwell (just have a cold).

I'm work as the IT support officer so just sitting at a desk and going to client computers when needed. Going to check BG every 2-3 hours for the rest of today and maybe tomorrow (if needed).


Thanks

Kevin B
