Sometimes when you're ill you need a little more insulin for your meals. Can you speak to your doctor and ask whether you need to change your insulin doses temporarily while you have this infection?

Do you know how to do correction doses?

Are you sure it's the infection not just a carb counting mistake?

Yes, it could be.

Keep testing and see how it goes. Drinking water will help you stay hydrated. Steam inhalations can help clear sinuses.

If your blood sugar stays high, do speak to a doctor for advice.

I hope you feel better soon :)
