Any infection will affect your blood sugars, so don't be too dispondent - It should return to normal when you shake off your cold.
By the same token your body temperature when you test your blood can make the results suspect.
I am just getting over a heavy cold and my blood levels have been as high as 18! (normally 5.5 ish)

Guys, just a thought. If one is not on medication and happens to get an infection which raises BG, would it be effective to take a temporary dose of Metformin??
Apologies if its a ridiculous question
