I am recovering from a nasty bout of vomiting. Got sick last Thurs. and just back to work today. I am an insulin dependent diabetic and smoker. I was in bed (when not vomiting). I noticed right hand has gone numb approx. 3 times over the past week, maybe because I sleep with it under my pillow, maybe not. I did not eat anything during this period I was sick except for 1/2 bowl Cheerios, a few tablespoons of applesauce, 1 small tapioca pudding, and f few tablespoons of green beans. I drank mostly ice water and some gingerale. Kept checking blood sugar and noticed that it was going up despite the fact that I was not eating. Any clues?
