I’ve apparently got a sickness from hell right now. It started on Tuesday with a fever and sore throat, then this morning I woke up with an ear infection, then straight after I got home from picking up antibiotics I started seeing symptoms of pink eye.

Up until today I actually wasn’t having much trouble with BG but since I took my first dose of the antibiotics I am having to contend with a noticeable upward drift.

What fun for midterm season 🙄 😷

So sorry, @glitzabetes ☹ Ibuprofen when you need your head together and lots of fluids… I hope you are not starting on a week of coughing. Sending you lots of good thoughts!
