Time	Event
9:40a	flu day 2 Actually this should read day 3, but I wanted to add my Day 2 info anyway. Day 2 was the worse I've had so far. Awoke at 7a, feeling sick, light headed, etc. I sort of suspected I was in a hypo reaction, since I went to bed at 11:30p with a 112 level. I thought that was safe enough so I didn't eat. Big mistake. Although I did eat at 5a as I normally do, I tried a few nuts not the protein snack since I was so fatigued. Not a smart thing. I went out to another room, and tried to eat, but the nausea was hitting me like a ton of bricks. Think you can eat during a severe hypo reaction?  I couldn't eat. Not only did things not taste right but the act of eating made me feel like I'd toss it immediate. Well sometime after that, I lost time. I suddenly felt my neck hurting and it was cause my head had rolled over to the back over the chair. Thankfully I was sitting. I'm not 100% if I fainted, or just dozed off but the way I felt, I think faint. I had to go to the bathroom too, had a bit of the diarrhea. So for the next 2 hours, I fought a dangerously low hypo (BG 45!) with too much OJ. I tried the first 8oz, started feeling better, but then it hit me again, so had another 8oz. First time I ever tried that since I became diabetic. Shot my BGs to 250! then had to spend an hour biking it down, till it stopped at 136. It wouldn't budge then, felt hungry though. Ate, and 15 minutes later, it'd crashed down to 116. - classic liver dump. BGs stayed in the 130s all day, but afterward I was just exhausted. I started drinking water all day. At least 1 16oz glass every hour, and about 8p I started urinating regularity. I really think that day one I dehydrated myself, (word of warning Use an alarm! 1 glass of water ever hour when your sick like this) then didn't eat well enough.

9:51a	flu day 3 Day 3: Feeling better, although I still feel like I've went 10 rounds with the orc, and uruk-hai armies of Mordor. After yesterday's nasty day I'm taking it easy, and eating and drinking right. If anything really severe happens. I'll write up an addendum Right now although sore from my diafram (thanks to a vicious cough), back, shoulders, head. I'm seemly in ok spirits. I did a reading of my BGs: 6:58a - 112 9:17a - 118 A bit high, but in safe range - especially after yesterday. I suspect I'm still somewhat dehydrated, but those numbers seem to indicate that I'm over the worse of it. Now I'm just recovering. More as time warrants.
