I left work early today.  I never ever do that. 

But 3 hours into my day, I felt just plain awful.  Headachey, exhausted awful.  I was running a temperature too - right around 100 degrees - which is even higher for me than a normal person because my temp typically runs in the high 96s/low 97s.  So I left work and came home.  And I went to bed at noon.  I slept for 11 hours.  I can't remember the last time I did that. 

Now, I'm awake, but I don't think for long.  I'm exhausted still and heading back to bed in a short while.  

I should have known I was getting sick.  Diabetes is like a flare coming up in the middle of a dark road on a stormy night.  For a couple of days now, my CGM was on constant alarm.  It just kept going off, mostly with out of range/high warnings.  Just going crazy, even with insulin going in.  I maybe should have increased my basal rates yesterday, considering how things were going, but I didn't.  I always get nervous doing that, because dumping low is so no fun.  But I did increase the rates this morning, upon waking up feeling very unwell.  And I've been holding slightly steadier today - in the low 150s mostly.  Still with a 40% increase in basal rates, it should be lower.  At least I  haven't been running ketones.  Thank the universe for small favors.  

Right now, I'm headed back to bed, thankful for my CGM which should throw me out a fair warning of when I can lower this significant basal increase - hopefully, I avoid the (at one time inevitable) crash in bloodsugar that all too often accompanies feeling better after being sick...
