Less Insulin with Illness?

Hello all,

I have had my basal needs reduced the last few days, pretty much on -50 all day otherwise I end up dropping. Today I have woken up with a slightly cold. Nothing major but looking around the forum and a bit of google it should definitely be the opposite.

My only assumption is that my honeymooning pancreas has ramped up production to the illness as it would if it worked properly.

Does this sound plausible?

Cheers Catapillar, interesting as I have only read the opposite but thats why personal accounts are more important to me

Feel perfectly fine apart from the sniffles, thanks for asking
