Tina, I am so sorry to hear about you being sick, which I know is just horrible especially with being diabetic. First off if your running a fever you really should be calling your doctor due to the possiblity of an infection or virus that would cause the fever. Also do make sure you get all the fluids you can into yourself especially water since it does help to flush out the body and also will help with bringing down your blood sugars as it flushes it out of your body. Also do call your doctors office to see if they have another number where they can be reached at on the weekends like mine has a few choices to pick from and one includes a number to get in contact with the doctor. Granted I am no medical professional what so ever, but this is my opinion of what I would do if I were you. I really hope you find out the cause for your fever and get something to make yourself feel better. Do let us know how your doing and my thoughts are with you.
