Head cold v hunger

I'm curious to know if anyone else gets the following symptoms?
Last few days have had the dreaded head cold ( I say it's flu but Mrs rower, a nurse seems to know better). Every time i get a head cold I become insatiability hungry. I just can't stop feeling hungry and strangely enough I can eat extra between meal snacks without having an adverse effect on my sugars.
Usually a snack would require a bolus but not when I'm suffering with this head cold. I find that a snack of 30 carbs does nothing to my sugars.
I know there must be a reason for this and any thoughts would be welcome although it's not something that is of concern to me. Actually a chance to have a treat without bolusing is quite good.
But I am interested if anyone else has this craving to eat with a cold.


Thanks.

This is something that crossed my mind. In fighting the germs I'm burning off the carbs.

@Snapsy . Back to about 80% already so Xmas shouldn't be a problem.
Thank you.
