Sick and running low

[TvBabe]

ok....I'm obviously backwards when it comes to this. Most diabetics I know when they get sick they tend to have a problem with high blood sugars. I'm having the opposite problem. I can't keep my sugars up, they keep bottoming out at least a couple of times a day. I've tried adjusting my basals and my bolus insulin to carb ratios and still having problems.

Does anyone else have this problem?

It varies for me. As it is, I have trouble predicting my blood sugar levels :rolleyes:, but when I am sick, it is even more unpredictable.

My suggestion would be to test even more frequently and have food at hand at all times.

Feel better soon :)

Im sorry you are sick. I hope you get better soon. Yes it is different for everyone. Some go high and some go Low, also due to the lil food you take in. DOnt you just love it!!! (Blah!)
