Today kicked off the start of college exams... whoo hoo!

I woke up - felt pretty fine. I was a little off, but figured it was nerves. I had a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast. Then I had two exams, one at 8 and one at 10.

I took some deep breathes trying to calm myself down. I was able to get through my first exam, just putting my head on the table and writing slowly - taking my time.

Then I started to not feel good at all. I bought a water and even drinking that made me feel as though I was going to throw up. I checked my sugar and I was low (67). I treated thinking maybe that will do the trick.
I got into the exam, still didn't feel very well and it was one of those things that you read something over and over and you don't comprehend it. Needless to say I didn't do so hot on that exam.

I went with my friends to get lunch and suddenly food did not sound appetizing at all. I sat with them for 5 mins until I felt so sick so I left. I went back to my dorm and laid down for a little while. Fell asleep, then woke up (15 mins later...) and immediately ran to the garbage and threw up.

Now I wouldn't think anything of this but I remember my diabetes nurse saying something about throwing up isn't good.

I called my mom who called my nurse (I didn't feel like explaining myself over the phone). She said to drink 2-4oz of sugar fluid and keep my sugars somewhat elevated. Well i didn't feel like drinking anything, I just took a sip or two of diet sierra mist.

I did check my ketones. Currently they are moderate to large.
I'm eating saltines. First time eating in 11 hours. If i move - I start not feeling well again.


Anyone have any suggestions? I have yet to me this sick while having diabetes and I haven't been actually sick like this in years.

Luckily tomorrow I don't in class exams. I just have to write a 8-10 page research paper and work on another assignment.

Thanks ahead of time!
