[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 387389, member: 12578"] Hope that your night wasn't too bad. Read this sheet on what to do when someone is ill and has diabetes. [url=http://www.nottinghamdiabetes.nhs.uk/sickdays.html]http://www.nottinghamdiabetes.nhs.uk/sickdays.html[/url] As with anyone, its important also to keep hydrated. The 'rules' suggest that you check for ketones. If your OH has got some ketone strips (either blood ones for his meter or urine strips) then test for ketones. If he has more than trace ketones then it would be best to seek medical advice. (if he hasn't any strips then you can buy them from a chemist). If his glucose rises and he can't keep anything down, If you are worried it's better to get medical advice sooner rather than later (easier during the day too) . One thing I'd add to the bit about insulin doses, it states that it's just a guide and that some people may be on high doses and require more, the opposite also applies sometimes and some people on very low doses could require less.
