It’s 5:30 am, I haven’t slept yet, and I just got back from the hospital after going there at midnight with the stomach flu. That’s a first for me since diabetes… 4 years and counting with no vomiting till now. It sucked. Daniel’s at the Walgreen’s getting meds so I can sleep. Did I mention I love him?
Not. A. Fun. Day.
Oh my! Beth, I’m so sorry to hear this. I thought you were on the mend! Darn diabetes and real people sickness doesn’t mix! I hope you sleep and get better soon. I’m so glad you have Daniel. Please, feel better soon!
I was alone last night and had a terrible hypo–I totally soaked the sheets and my clothes and had to change and was so out of it. I think I ate 4 cookies with milk and one of the Kashi bars you sent me a while back in a sussy and I was so out of it I woke up at 346. I knew it was overboard but I felt so bad and couldn’t make sense of the world around me.
It was scary and I just wanted Yudi, or someone who loved me there with me. Sometimes, living alone is scary. I hope Yudi comes back soon!
Hope you feel better soon!
Hi Beth. I hope you’re back up and running again soon.
Oh, that sucks! Just what we went through with Daniel a couple of months ago. I hope you bounce back as quickly as he did and feel better pronto!
That stinks. I hope you feel better soon!
Beth,
Hope you feel better soon & can get some rest.
Beth, I hope by now you are feeling a little better. I know from experience that first emergency trip back to the hospital is not something to look forward too. Keep us updated.
Sorry to hear you’re sick. I’m thinking of you, and hoping you’re feeling better soon.
Ah man! I thought you were on the mend too! That is such a bummer. I am starting to wonder if we are catching stuff from each other through the computer. It seems like the whole Diabetes OC is sick. A new type of virus I guess!

I commented awhile ago that while reading the posts of those of you bitten by the “bugs,” that I tended to scoot away from the screen while reading.
Beth, feel better very soon and take care!
Oh, Beth – I hope you feel better soon! Sending hugs to you through the computer!!
Beth
I send both of you big hugs. I’m so sorry to hear you’re sick, that just stinks.
I hope you’re on the mend real soon.
ick!!
it’s definitely going around.
stomach flu was the first and only time i was every hospitalized for DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) or any diabetes-related thing, including my diagnosis, when it wasn’t that bad so i didn’t have to be hospitalized.
hope you feel better soon.
ps stay hydrated! i know it feels icky with a sick stomach but it will help you feel better and stay ahead of the ketones/dehydration so much… make yourself have one little sip of gatorade or broth every 10-15 minutes
That’s the worst. I’m so sorry your sick. I sure hope your meds help, and you start feeling better soon!
Hope you feel better soon.
Sorry to hear about the hospital trip.
Hope the meds work fast.
Major suckage!
I hope you are feeling better.
