Brief answer....your symptoms are due to dehydration and loss of electrolytes
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
It is good that your acute symptoms are over and you are simply left with fatigue low feeling.It is all happening due to dehydration which has resulted in depletion of sodium and electrolytes in the body.In diabetics every illness gets lengthier.
To do....
Take plenty of water.
Take care of electrolytes by drinking ORS,coconut water and lemon water with a pinch of salt. Don't worry that these solutions are going to make your diabetes worse. Just keep a watch on your sugar levels.
There is no need to take any medication now.
I hope you should be all right in next 2-3 days.
I hope it helps however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
