Diabetes and colds/flu

Hi,

So I'm new to this site and have found some pretty useful information by looking through some of the previous discussion topics.

One things I haven't found any extra information on is what to do when you have a cold/flu like symptoms.

I'm currently on holiday in Australia and have developed a pretty nasty cold as it's moving into the autumn season. I had a flu jab last winter in England so I'm pretty sure it won't develop into something worse. Not only do I have a severely blocked nose, sore throat and itchy eyes, but my blood sugars seem to stay higher than 15. Usually they're pretty good!

So, do I need to adjust the Lantus or the novorapid to bring it down again?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply - the link was really informative and gave useful advice. I will definitely follow what it says and see how that works.

Thanks!
