sorry to hear you're going through this. whatever it is it sounds unpleasant! it certainly could be food poisoning though usually the first sign of that is diarrhea. with your symptoms coming on the heels of a holiday in which food takes center stage i certainly wouldn't rule out food poisoning. cotton mouth can be a sign of severe dehydration. if your symptoms don't clear up within a day or two or if you have little to no urine output then you probably should consider going to the emergency room for iv fluids. because you have diabetes you're at increased risk for complications from food poisoning. chief among these complications is dehydration. be sure to drink plenty of fluids if you can keep them down. if your vomiting lasts more than one day you need to seek medical attention. in addition to drinking plain water to treat your dehydration you can sip a non-sugary sports beverage to help maintain your electrolyte balance. general rules of thumb: if you spike a high fever (101f or above); if you develop new symptoms such as blurred or double vision muscle weakness extreme dizziness or confused thinking; or if you have difficulty breathing you should always call 911. otherwise you're probably fine to take a "watchful waiting" approach to see if your symptoms get better. wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery!
