What's your meter? It's normal for blood sugars to go up when you're ill, so I'd expect you to need to increase your insulin, but you can't calculate correction doses if you can't get a reading.
Edited to add: do you know how to calculate correction doses? Hopefully your doctor or nurse will have told you.

Consider ringing 111 and ask for advice. If it's possible that your blood sugar is too high for your reader to cope then you really need medical help now.

Error codes should be in the manual that came with your meter.
Unfortunately, they differ per meter so we cannot answer your questions.
