I recently got my BG's in line and was doing great and then got the flu. Not extremely high but has been running between 135-170 throughout the day and while fasting. I was going to post a question about having the flu and if it is common to raise the numbers.
Looks like it may. I'll just keep monitoring and see if it gets better as I get over this flu. Thanks.
Your mother can spot a cold or flu before it really gets going. In almost every case I have gotten sick, my readings go up 20-30 points for no apparent reason.
A cold, the flu, or other sudden illness can cause high blood sugar levels.
