Unwell. What to do?

[KathyGardiner]

So I have type 1 diabetes. Today I'm not feeling well. I feel extremely sick and can't seem to eat or keep anything down, I have dizziness, headache, tight chest and chest pain, I also have a sore throat. I dunno what to do as I'm insulin dependent. Also I do have laryngitis (had it since Jan) as I had a tracheostomy, I had pneumonia also, I also have asthma, possibly pancreatitus. What do I do?

Hi @KathyGardiner

Definitely phone 111 to get medical,advice. Give them a call now and a doctor should phone you back.

Keep testing your blood sugar frequently. If it's low, try sipping a sweet drink.

I do agree with Azure that you should seek medical advice given your symptoms and recent health issues.

Here are the Sick Day Rules that type 1's should follow when feeling unwell:
