Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2008Sick numbers up
Last Monday Hubby came home with nausea and watery diarrhea . We thought he ate some old ham...well the diarrhea stuck around, and this morning I woke up with it and terrible nausea. Since I hadn't eaten since last night I tested my blood at noon and it was 155.....I checked it again at three and it was still 155. Then I made a run for the toilet and while sitting there started vomiting...I will do any thing not to vomit....but my tummy had other ideas. After cleaning up I tested my blood again and it had dropped to 130. Was it the food that was stuck in my gut or was it the stress of being sick. I felt a bit better...but still have a headache and some nausea. Sorry you and your husband are so sick, Jacquie. The higher numbers should probably be expected under the circumstances. Hope you are both on the mend soon!  SignatureBest regards, Michelle C., T2 diet & exercise BMI 21.5 > Last Monday Hubby came home with nausea and watery diarrhea .

Jacquie, I think the stress could indeed cause higher numbers. I usually test in the 80s-90s when I get home from work. One night, while driving home, I had a stomach ache...it never developed into anything, a couple zantac took care of it, but when I tested as soon as I got home, I was 140. This was without any change whatsoever to my normal diet. I tested a few hours later after the stomach ache passed and I was in the 90s.

Have you been visiting Julie? <G> probably a combination of the stress, any toxins from the bug and dehydration from the diarrhoea and vomiting, reduced blood volume from eliminating fluid quicker than you take it in will cause a higher BG reading. Sympathies anyway <uploads Charmin> LOL..Thanks for the Charmin. I was pretty dehydrated...not peeing as much as I usually do. Can only drink diet coke now...Our water well went on the fritz last night...Seems the ground pump died...we share with 10 families...hubby is carrying in pool water to prime toilets when needed..this is really turning into a comedy:) >>Last Monday Hubby came home with nausea and watery diarrhea .

We pay a maintenance fee every month plus split electric costs....thank goodness we had enough in the maintenance account to pay it. The fee is going up tho because we have to get a couple more storage tanks. This pump that broke is the one actually in the ground about 500 hundred feet down....so they had to hire a guy that had all of the tools to get to it. The pump itself was $1900.00...the rest was labor. Jacquie >> Yep, and I thank God for that..especially now..LOL.

When the pump died, we called the only guy in the area with the tools to pull it. He doesn't know when he'll be able to come out to pull it. We dropped another pump on top of it for now. It's been over a year. New pump works fine. We have a 3 stage filter for general use and an additional carbon filter for drinking and cooking. I still want to get an RO filter for the latter, but no spare loot. ;-( SignatureNick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

If they were only more picky about whom they would allow through the doors... Priscilla LOL..Really..How Dare They..LOL. I know at the AF Clinic where I go to they have a big sign on the front door "If you think you have been exposed to measles go to building such and such...DO NOT ENTER THIS BUILDING!" Our County is in the middle of a measles outbreak...and are being very strict about it. I know I never had the vaccine. I did have German Measles when I was a Freshman in HS, but have never had Rubella. >> Had you recently been to a hospital (or doctor's surgery)?

At worst, I wait outside and they come and get me when it's my turn. At best I've trained them like my haemotologist's reception. I wait in a pub ten minutes away and they call me on the mobile phone when the patient before me goes in.

Most of the virus's I catch are from my Grandson. My daughter has been told not to visit if he is sick...which she usually abides, but this time she actually thought it was his allergies and not a cold ...after 48 hours I realized it was a cold, my son who also was around my Grandson came down with the same thing as did my DIL. Then hubby came home with the intestinal virus and it caught me too. I am over the trots...but still have nausea...one good thing about this , is my calorie intake has been cut down quite a bit:) >>> Had you recently been to a hospital (or doctor's surgery)?

If they were >only more picky about whom they would allow through the doors... <G> it wouldn't be nearly so bad if they didn't insist on making you all sit together for hours waiting to be seen, some nice cross-contamination going on there. Alan has the right idea . . . >>> Had you recently been to a hospital (or doctor's surgery)? That seems >>> to be where our worst infections are emanating from nowadays [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >sit together for hours waiting to be seen, some nice >cross-contamination going on there. Alan has the right idea . . . My GP is only five minutes away by car, so his reception used to ring me at home when the patient before me went in. We got out of the habit because all of my appointments for the past few years have been combined with fasting blood tests, so I'm first cab off the rank at 9am. Which is today. I've been up since six, it's now 7.45 and I'm starving! Can't eat until about 9:30, and I know the old DP will be creeping up the whole time... To make it worse, the shop next door is a bakery, with all those aromas wafting out. Standing outside the doc's door waiting for them to open can be torture:-) Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. -- d&e, metformin 1500mg, ezetrol 10mg Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan_s/ http://loraltravel.blogspot.com Latest: Bangkok Grand Palace >>>> Had you recently been to a hospital (or doctor's surgery)?

My results should be due tomorrow. I managed to go from about 10 pm until midday without eating or drinking anything except water (largely through being asleep <G>) so they'd better bloody well be worth it! >To make it worse, the shop next door is a bakery, with all >those aromas wafting out.

LOL...My Husband is an instructor at a local Community College, and he got it first so he probably picked it up there.

Mother remembers catching just about everything under the sun when she started teaching but after a few years exposure she had built up immunity to much of it. This seems not uncommon in other jobs relating to large quantities of publics. Keep hydrated (and milk it for all it's worth) <G> I remember when my Grandson first went to day care, he constantly had a cold. The Dr. told my daughter not to worry as long as nothing secondary came along...if he gets allot of colds in day care it would cut down the amount of colds when he went to real school...and it did. He hardly ever gets sick. He still gets a cold once and a while but not often. His Dr. was a really good Pediatrician. Unfortunately he quit his practice to study under the Holistic Medicine Guru, Andrew Weil, at the University of Arizona Medical Center. >>LOL...My Husband is an instructor at a local Community College, and he got >>it first so he probably picked it up there.

You make it sound such an attractive career choice :P Nicky. T2 dx 05/04 + underactive thyroid D&E, 100ug thyroxine Last A1c 5.6% BMI 25 >>I believe that one reason I'm not catching things despite >>travelling the world with hypogammaglobulinemia is the 17 [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >D&E, 100ug thyroxine >Last A1c 5.6% BMI 25 Actually, although I fell into it, sort of, I thoroughly enjoyed much of it. Apart from Friday and Saturday nights, picking up drunks for a living. After working in an office, no matter how senior I got, life got pretty humdrum. And there was the safety net of benefits, holidays, pensions and all that. Working in an industry where my income was half the take on the meter, plus tips (Aussies don't tip), with no other benefits was a different world. No security, no pension, no holiday pay, no medical - no nothing except the cash you took. You worked or you starved. And totally competitive; every other driver wanted the same fares I did. I started in the days of steam radio; if a job went "open", with no-one on the rank, the operator would call it and the first "radio number" of a cab that the operator could make sense of, from the hundreds that answered, got the job. My number may have been "Don four oh", 140. So I would hit the mike and yell that. If I got lucky, I would hear "the Don" when I let go the PTT. So that cut out 90% of the others. Then I'd try for "the four" and finally "the oh." My first night, in a 12 hour shift, I took $15. That meant I took home $7.50. Three years later I owned two cabs and was managing the radio company, controlling 1000. But I didn't enjoy that a lot, and went back on the road after less than a year. Freedom. Later we computerised, of course, and those frantic radio calls disappeared. But the feeling of accomplishment of winning a good job, and eventually regularly taking home good money using that system is difficult to describe. Of course, I eventually ended up working 120 hours a week before I saw sense and started investing in other things.
