If you are unwell with cold/flu symptoms you will likely see a rise in your BS. Keep drinking lots of water and get well soon.

If mine was that high I would ring 111 or take myself off to A and E that is way way too high and you will get sick. Definitely needs sorting and sorting put very quickly

Can you confirm that you are talking about 38.5mmol/l? This is a dangerously high level and as already suggested, I think you should be seeking urgent medical attention.

These high blood sugars could be the cause of your thirst. Basically, your body makes you thirsty so that you drink more to help flush out glucose. Are you losing weight also?

Db nurse didn't seem too bothered and said she would see me in February not November, my mistake. I have to take alot of painkillers as i am waiting for a knee replacement & this is effecting my hip & back so taking nerve suppression tabs aswell. Had injections yesterday and doc has said to increase my tabs by 50%

Do you have the means to test for ketones?

If your BG is 38.5mmol/l you need to get yourself to A&E.

No i have no means of testing my ketones. BG is still high but it is coming down, 22.4 this am, BP up a touch for me. 154/105. Still drinking loads of water over 20 pints per day. Lost about 20lbs in the last 2 weeks. I was told to double my suddarko which i have. No sign of a cold or flu? Just off to see my pharmacist for more pills and some kind of water supplement, salts etc
