Illness and blood sugar

hello all,

I’ve been feeling a bit off lately - slightly achy, an occasional sneeze, shaky and tired and I think I might be suffering a cold although it feels very different to previous colds so I am a little unsure... it could also be stress (new job this week and getting the results of a type 1 or not test back next week will do that!). Blood sugar levels have also risen again...

So I wondered - people that have gone on LCHF diets, do you feel you experience things like colds differently? Do you find your blood sugar rises? Does anyone find the winter-blues also affect your levels? TIA!

Don't know about LCHF, but illness and stress both make anyone's blood sugar rise.... (well, at least any diabetic's, I assume non diabetics just pump out more insulin to compensate?)
