Sick

You can expect your glucose to go up any time you're not well. Stick to your carb restrictions, but be sure you get plenty of fluids. I take Mucinex-D when I have a cold. It helps dry things up but also keeps it from settling in your chest. If you don't feel better in a day or two, you may want to see your PCP to see if a prescription will help you.

Really, unless you're a really unstable type II or type I, having a cold or the flu is just about like before you had diabetes.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry you're sick like that.  I wish you could stay home and rest.  I agree with Judy and Will.  Stay within your eating routine but drink more fluids.  Hot broth, chicken soup.  How are you today?

Glad you're feeling at least a little better today.  Change your towels, face cloth, sheets (particularly the pillow cases) so you don't re-infect yourself with cold germs.  And take some anti-bacterial wipes and wipe down doorknobs, handles, remotes, phones, things that your hands and fingers touch, etc. in the house. 

was hoping to be better today but being sick mixed with little sleep due to my hubby i am still sick. left work after half a day. at 4 am my hubby shakes me in my sleep and so i get up and am like wth and after an hour can finally go back to sleep only for him to do it again! then i go back to sleep only to have a very vivid and real like dream that me and him were talking and our daughter gets up and we send her back to bed. so vivid i texted him this morning to see if it really happened. so now im going to eat a salad for lunch and sleep

i slept better last night but im still sick. this is driving me crazy seems like i been sick forever but its been since saturday

I go see my dr on thursday for my diabetes follow up. I'm considering calling her as it feels like it has gone to a chest cold too

I called and I go in at three to see the doctor

i have a bad sinus infection and a red throat

I don't know.  Illness can make blood sugar unstable which is what you may be experiencing.  If I were you, I'd wait till Thursday since it's so close, but if you're nervous about it, then call her office tomorrow and see if she advises you to re-start it tomorrow.  I hope you're feeling better.

In my opinion, if your blood sugar has been all over the place, like a yo-yo, you probably felt like it was lower than it was just because your body is all out of whack.  I think once you're feeling 100% and back on your routine, you will feel fine when you're at normal blood sugar levels.  I think the fact that you can get to a normal level of 108, you may not need to go back on the metformin, at least just yet - but the sinus infection is/was making the blood sugar crazy!  This is something you have to discuss with the doctor.   Poor thing!  (And don't forget to change your towels and sheets, especially your pillowcase, so you don't re-infect yourself.  I know I wrote that before but I'm a mom and that's what moms do, repeat ourselves, right?)

 

Well, Ritz crackers are refined flour so they would act like sugar.  I hope you're feeling better.

You need your rest.  Glad you're feeling better!
