Got a wicked head cold 2 days ago, my BGs were doing fine until last night - woke up this morning and my BG was at 22.4. Didn't eat anything and gave myself 14 units of humulog - 2 hours later I'm down to 17 (at least it's going in the right direction) so I gave another 6 units of humulog just now.
I'll continue to fast and test myself again in another hour and depending on what I test may give yet another shot. Not too concerned - when I get a cold or some other ailment my BGs go wild - usually high of normal not low. This has been a typical BG behavior I've encountered for years - wonder what it's like to be sick without high BGs LOL ...
The funny thing is - if I didn't test myself I'd have no idea that I'm as high as this. I'm not thirsty or peeing a lot, just stuffed up with a head cold.
Hopefully it clears by tomorrow, thankfully I'm seldom sick any longer than a couple of days.
