[QUOTE="azure, post: 1103142, member: 39639"] [USER=276676]@Ellie's mum[/USER] I get low sugars when I'm ill. With a cold, I often get high sugars just before I get the cold, then lows when it arrives and for the first few days I have it. It's not totally predictable so all I do is test lots and eat extra if necessary. If I can see the lows are persisting, I sometimes use a temporary basal rate for a few hours (I'm on a pump). I've always had this happen since I was first diagnosed. I like to think my immune system is too busy with fighting the cold to destroy any more islets, but as I've been diagnosed 20 years or so I'm not sure that's true. However, I do know other people experience similar lows so there must be a reason. [/QUOTE]
