I know the sick day guidelines were printed and thanks so much for that. I have type 2 and on no insulin or pills at the moment. I was vomitting, but it settled down now. I have a fever of 100.4. I checked my levels and at 9 they were 118 then 117 and now at 3:30, 92. I haven't eaten and only had water as of now for fear of vomitting. I can take water now and best get on it to avoid dehydration. All I had was diet coke which made my stomach a bit better. My stomach really hurt this morning, but now it is just tender. Any advice? I assume that I shouldn't have anything to eat because I can't get up to 30 carbs. If my numbers go lower, I guess I should have some sugar soda. Just checking if this is correct. Thanks.

Debbie.


Have a scrambled egg with toast. Toast would be tter than a bagel because bagels are up to 60 grams of carbs.


I hope this suggestion helps.

Yes, I appreciate all your advice. I did have the egg with dry toast and it helped. I vomitted before I ate it and felt better afterwards. Thanks again for all your help and feel better soon.

Debbie,


I have just laid around today and I do feel better. I can't get sick because I leave on Thursday for my vacation. I can't fly half way around the world while sick. Plus who wants to go on vacation being ill!


Take it easy. I hope you are felling better tomorrow.

Take care of yourself Mary Francis. I hope you aren't sick for your trip. I hope you have a wonderful trip. Where are you going? I would love a vacation. I feel better today and numbers are good and fever down. But my stomach hurts off and on and I feel a tug on my right side ever so often. It doesn't go well with my hiatal hernia. I don't know, and this is probably for another board, but I heard too many pills for GERD and cause stomach distress and I do have chocolate (in small amounts) and that could mess me up. I know I am bad. Chocolate is a hard give up.


Anyway, feel better soon. I hope you can rest.

Ginger really can help settle an upset stomach.

Also green tea helps. I don't know why I didn't remember this yesterday. I like a caffeine free green tea.


Hope you have been doing okay as I haven't seen you around for a while. Glad for your suggestion.

2sweet02,


I knew something must be going on as you are often around here and we hadn't seen you. I hope all will be okay. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. My hubby isn't doing that great after his medical problems this past fall. Took him much longer than I expected to get over his episode of hypoglycemia. I thought he would just bounce right back but that didn't happen. Harder on you when you are elderly.


Please take care of yourself and do come around when you can.


Hugs,
