Coming down with a nasty ear-nose-throat cold, with added razor-scraper blades for my throat. Can't sleep well so I am getting out the Ambien Hammer tonight.
I know being sick makes your BG rise, and my base is gone from 100 or so to 135 all day. I had my usual 15-carb lunch (tuna/mayo on high fiber crackers) and got a 205 reading 90 minutes later. It eventually came down to 135 again. I ate no carbs with dinner and it is staying 135.
Besides eating no carbs, is there anything I can do? How high should my between-meals BG before call the doc? I'm thinking I can try to starve my liver out by eating no carbs at all for a few days. Any thoughts? Taking metformin 500x2.
My usual cold meds spike my sugar badly so I can't take them anymore.
