I'd also vote for upping your temp basal for a bit - being sick and feeling like crap from being high would suck a lot.Major Bedheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669161302510096751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572621.post-1145857448274028232006-04-24T00:44:00.000-05:002006-04-24T00:44:00.000-05:00I am sorry to hear that you are ill, Jen; here's t...I am sorry to hear that you are ill, Jen; here's to hoping you will feel better soon.<BR/><BR/>Regarding your temp basal, most of us (but not I) would prefer to go a little high instead of a little low. Personally, I would ask myself how good my response to hypos was (you know the three stages -- endogenous glucagon, then various catecholamines, then epinephrine as the last line of defence).<BR/><BR/>If a hypo, for you, means seizures or a coma, well, that would be something to avoid.<BR/><BR/>If, on the other hand, it means five minutes of clammy hands while at 40 mg/dl, and then you bounce back by yourself, it may be worth trading off this against a day of feeling crappy due to high BGs.<BR/><BR/>And as usual, YMMV.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Felix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572621.post-1145844973496381172006-04-23T21:16:00.000-05:002006-04-23T21:16:00.000-05:00So sorry to hear you are sick...

Hopefully, tomorrow you'll feel a little better, but I'd go and get checked out at the clinic anyway... just to be safe.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, rest up and get well soon :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358965463031619266noreply@blogger.com
