Hi spitfire
All sorts of things can raise your BG, including infections, if it were me I would keep a close eye on it and try and figure it out. for example - have I eaten anything different, did I do anythig different yesterday, does it go when the cold goes? sort of questions.
Have you ever tested in the middle of the night before, to know if this is a one off?

Hi spitfire,
many will testify that infections will raise bg. Strangely though I am working from home at the mo as I have a very nasty chest infection (I had the flu jab). My bg's throughout my illness have been fine. (2 hour post meals consistently in the 5's). It really does vary so thats why it is important to keep an eye on your own bg's
All the best Steve

Did you by any chance get a cortisone injection for your tendon problem ? This can raise your Bg levels for a while.
Thank you very much for your replies my BS today is in the 5s so i suppose that isnt to bad no i havent had any cortisone injections i think maybe now its this virus i have because my diet yesterday was good very little carbs but thank you again for your replies it does help to have a few different opinions
