HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The vomiting may be a result of an infection (gastroenteritis). This is a common cause.
Infections would cause an increase in your blood sugar readings as well.
You need to be careful to avoid dehydration. You should consider getting oral rehydration products from your local pharmacy. These would replace both your fluids and an your electrolytes.
Drink a small amount at a time, if you use a lot, then vomiting can occur.
I hope this helps
