3 am:  Woke from sleep having to be violently sick to my stomach, but with nothing to throw up but a bunch of thick, acidic yellow bile that burned my throat and mounth.  Frightened my daughter who'd crept in to sleep with us some time in the night.  Frightened my darling husband with my grunting and incoherence between gagging fits.

Have eaten antacids upon my DH's advice, and am sitting up for a bit because tilting as if to lie down triggers panic and a strong urge to repeat the awful experience.  No nausea if I'm upright.

Blood sugar 168 following the incident; will recheck again soon.  Being sick to one's stomach triggers the liver to convert sugars to the bloodstream for a spike, which sometimes will make things okay, sometimes will crash anyway.  Hard to type because I'm shaky.  I think that's due just because of having been sick to my stomach, rather than blood sugar.  127 just now, fifteen minutes later.  A reasonable amount.

Sparkle thoroughly awake.  This should make rest for the remainder of the night tricky for all of us.

I'm SO sorry to hear that. Throwing up is never fun, but it's the worst when there's nothing in your stomach! I hope you feel better soon!

And I always sort of panic because I'm afraid I'll trigger a diabetic low blood sugar attack.

I know that my liver goes into overdrive doing fat conversions to sugar, and I never have slipped into such an attack while ill, but I still internally freak out that I *will.*

It's noon, and I'm contemplating risking mild food.

What a horrid way to wake up!

Thanks. My darling husband let me sleep in after getting to bed about 5:20 when Sparkle was willing to lie down again. Thank goodness for summer vacations while they still last.

Oh, ugh! *hugs* and so sorry to hear that you were ill.

J received your note, btw. She heads back to Pondside tomorrow. Sigh.
