I tried really hard to avoid Norovirus and as I haven't been out much recently I thought I'd missed it. Then went to pub a few days ago and yesterday afternoon I realised my sugars were going low so kept topping up with carbos all very weird. Them 16:00 I had a lie down and some more lucozade. Unfortunately things just got worse. At 18:30 29th December 2014 I recognised the nausea and luckily by 18:45 I was being sick. Now you may think the word luckily is a strange thing to say, but 15 mins later I'd have taken 20 units of Humalog and sickness after that would have been a major problem as I discovered some years ago, unlike the films insulin and no ability to keep anything down is a major problem.
After being sick, it was apparent from the nausea that this wasn't going to be a one off as the nausea came in waves.
I tested my blood and it was 4.4 despite all the extra carbos all day.
So I took 10 grams of carbos and no insulin and went to bed setting the alarm for 2hours
and taking a large glass of water with a little salt in it, blood testing meter and a bottle of lucozade.
