Message: <blockquote data-quote="paintylady" data-source="post: 1446515" data-attributes="member: 395275">HelloDoes a cold/flu type bug affect blood sugars? I only got my meter on Tuesday and by that evening I was coughing, sneezing, bunged up nose which won't stop running, feel so achy and hot and cold. Readings all over the place, I was expecting them to be high as I was only diagnosed about 7 weeks ago and have been following  a low carb diet, I felt so much better, I've been losing weight (definitely need to!) but just feel so miserable right now. Spent last night craving honey on toast but resisted, I won't cave diet wise but is there any point using my meter until I feel better as the numbers are really depressing me. Any advice would be really welcome. With thanks in advance x</blockquote>
