Suggest Treatment For Nausea And Diarrhea.

Hello. I woke up last night with diarrhea, cold sweats and finally heavy chills. I felt a bit nauseous but did not throw up. After eventually settling, I thought I had food poisoning -- I had eaten a salad in the Prets chain. I seemed better this morning and a good part of the day although it did not completely lift. I felt tired around 4 pm and woke up feeling deeply chilled again around 5 pm. The question is whether this is something that needs medical attention or can be left another night. I have adult onset diabetes, runs in the family, today my sugar was 151 whereas it s been 105-110 for some weeks now I feel like i have a slight fever now. Last July 4 I was admitted with Cryptogenic Pneumonia and spent about a month in the hospital. Hope you can advise me about going to the ER. Thanks, Kathy Brown

Dear Kathy,
Apparently you do seem to be suffering from food poisoning keeping in mind that you had a salad before you started feeling so.
Hopefully, things should settle on their own, just keep yourself well hydrated, and watch your glucose levels...but in case you develop a fever that goes beyond 101 F , or you get bloody stools, PR your blood sugar levels keep rising, doesn't hesitate in visiting the ER
