Hi there. I have what feels like a mild to moderate cold and have been testing my levels over the past few days. My results are around 9mml constantly. This is usually when fasting or 3-4 hours after eating. I also do cardiovascular exercise daily for about 60 mins. Please should I be concerned? Oh and I'm diet controlled only x

Hi @IrishGypsy ,

Colds (and other illnesses) can push your glucose levels up. Don't get to stressed about it, they should return to normal when the cold symptoms subside.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just get a wee bit worried sometimes.

In my experience - stressing about it will ironically only push your sugars up higher!

Action or inaction but either way - one must not stress.
Bad for your health!

Matazapine 30mg has taken the edge off for me.

Mental health isn't often spoken about.
Cruddy blood sugar levels screw with your head too.

When your sugars are normal you'll feel so much better!

You'll benefit from seeing the doctor.
