Flu and Bg

The last bad cold I had pushed my bg up but only by about 1.5mmol/L but I guess we are all different and it would depend on exactly which strain of virus you had and also (possibly) what medication you took, cold remedies etc.

Maybe someone with some medical knowledge will have the answer here, anyone?

I have had various medical problems since being diagnosed. Currently I am on 1000 mgs of Metformin each day, but have a HBAc1 of 6.1. Dr will not let me test any more. However whenever I am ill, recently was in hospital with infected wound in my left thumb, stabbed by a rogue twig whilst retrieving a golf ball; dangerous game golf; anyways got infection and ended up in Hospital due to part of twig remaining in my thumb, BS went haywire. I was tested every 4 hours as part of observations post general anaesthetic, to remove foriegn body from my thumb, and saw 4 hourly test results go from usual 4.0 to 14+. HBAc1 also went to 7 at next test. Now back to 6.0. So any medical problems/infection does send BS haywire.

your not alone with the colds. i ve picked up three nasty infections since xmas and have been on penicilon each time. i ve been advised to stay away from people who are ill and sterilise everything. i now live in a box, its a clean box though .
my readings are 6.6 and test daily. 1000mg metformin and statins for chloesterol . i was a gym junkie for years so this was a huge surprise it took 8 months to decide if i was type 1 or type 2 as i ,m 38 not over weight.
i wish you all well
