i currently have a cold, until now my blood sugars been normal. But today it has risen from 4.8 at 8pm to 12.4 now and i haven't eaten since 5:30 so seems late for a spike. I've tested for ketones and they're at 0.3 which is higher than normal for me, was just wondering if any of you had experienced the same or what you would do.
Thanks
amy
Hi Amy. I have also noticed that when I am sick my blood sugars spike. My insulin intake almost doubles. It's because your body is trying to fight the infection. Just try to test your sugars more often when ill to try and keep on top of things.
