Hope you both feel much better soon. Vertigo is horrible - so disorienting and likely to make you feel nauseous as well. Take care of yourselves as much as possible.Monday 26 December bed 7.5 FBG 7.3 Well, we've relapsed with this bug. Hubby's cough is exhausting him, I've overdone things yesterday (too long on my feet) and can barely walk, and we both have vertigo! Trying to persuade Hubby to get up and move slowly is a nightmare.
B. TAG and 3 LC crackers with a bit of port salut and a bit of Wensleydale with cranberries.
L. CC little chocolate pot
D. Neither of us wanted anything hot, so we had smoked salmon, prawns and Marie Rose, tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, and a boiled egg (both Hubby and mine were double yolk). LC Creme brulee with strawberries.
Lots of water. Vertigo was awful today.
Today, bed 6 1 FBG 6 2 - vertigo still there but not as bad as yesterday. I'm still trying to teach Hubby how to function and deal with it
B. TAG and LC crackers and cheese - port salut and Wensleydale with cranberries

D. I managed to roast a duck yesterday, so I had some cold duck with cucumber. LC creme brulee
Lots of water. Finally, I managed to convince Hubby that vertigo is thanks to this bug we've had. Move slowly, no sudden head movements, and you're fine. It will go away. View attachment 58409
Thanks, @Annb . At least I've had it often enough to cope (although yesterday was really bad). It's a new experience for Hubby, and it took a while to get him to listen about how to move.Hope you both feel much better soon.

This is supposed tpo be the season to be jolly but it seems so many people are going down with one bug or another that it is not as jolly as it ought to be. For me, I don't think I hav e a bug, but I do think the pills the doctor prescribed are being a problem - more so than not having the pills at all. Shan't take them tonight.
Did have some food today - a toasted ham sandwich because my BG was running much lower than usual but food is not receiving a kind welcome in my stomach today. Also had a piece of home made shortbread biscuit to push BG up at one stage.
Lakeland stock them There's a huge one in Windermere
Lakeland's free delivery would undoubtedly kick in on a Remoska. Just sayin'Lol thank you, I’d already spotted them on the Lakeland website! I Daren’t go near the Windermere branch though, we will be so squashed in the car going back as it is.
Thank you!Late afternoon: Some people may have ventured to Hotel Chocolat yesterday, after a walk that ended in the wild, blustery rain.
That one was for you @Antje77 . Let's face it, sometimes y'have to take one for the team. (That'll be just about the sum total of my chocolate for the year)
Good thing the slate will be cleaned in only 3 days, that's not too long to wait for next year's chocolate!(That'll be just about the sum total of my chocolate for the year)
Winner for the blood scores. Hero!Thank you!
I still can't believe I haven't managed to somewhere fit in a visit to a Hotel Chocolate during my holiday, the hot chocolate with whipped chocolate cream was so high on my list of things to do.
I'll need to come back.
Good thing the slate will be cleaned in only 3 days, that's not too long to wait for next year's chocolate!
Not feeling better, but not worse either so I'll take it. Diabetes is behaving ridiculously well, despite the on and off fever, Haven't been below 4.8 or over 6.2 for 3 days, which should be impossible even when well!
Hi @Judybeaney , welcome to the forum.Have had sickness and diarrhoea since Xmas day and can't face any food. One glass of orange juice went right through me! Any suggestions please as I can't take any insulin without food.
That was yesterday, today I did feel like eating my very thick and rich tomato soup!And right after posting the above I felt like eating something, just not the tomato soup.
Good thing all rules (even your own) are postponed when ill, half a Turkish sucuk sausage was exactly what I wanted!

Didn't eat anything else after all. I finally stirred myself to make some mince pies - just in case anyone calls - and that took all the energy I had left. Didn't feel hungry and BG playing games again - swinging between 11.9 and 3.4. Try again tomorrow.Today I must eat something sensible. A ham toastie yesterday was all very well - quite enjoyable in fact - but probably best not repeated. BG is higher today, sticking around the 11.5 mark, so we'll see how it goes. Breakfast will be bacon and egg again and I will try to have another meal later in the day. I have some lamb "leg steaks" which Neil bought for me and will make the effort to prep some red cabbage to go with it.
Feeling a bit better today - didn't take the new pills last night.
