. Second is see your GP. Third is take it from there. Distressed imaginings aren't going to help. Had the same thing as you (virus, and brother it was bad for two weeks) but you'll recover. Same thing applies to you as it does to everyone else, diabetic or otherwise. Keep the fluids up, keep warm, see your GP and stay on top of it:
I was actually diagnosed T2 whilst I was laid up with an infection. My initial levels were a bit scary but the quack told me to chill because it was "likely to be attributable, in part, to the fact that you're ill". I suspect this was true, because the first finger-prick test showed I had a level of 15 mmol/l and a fasting test at the Hospital, a couple of weeks later when I was feeling better, already showed that it was down to 8-ish, from whence it has retreated further. Co-incidentally, I then got another bug, a couple of months later, by which time I was exercising, eating sensibly and necking metformin, and my levels never went higher than 11 which, whilst high, wasn't the end of the world, imho. They were up for a couple of days then returned to "normal".
