Just wondering what some of you do when sick.I have a cold maybe sinus infection going on and it is making my numbers higher than they normally are.Not sure what to do.Should I lessen the carbs even more and maybe stick to more protein?
Still taking metformin as Im supposed to.I had Drs appt on the 16th of Feb my A1c still sitting at a 5.9..I dont want anything to mess that up.This is the first time in 2 and a half years since I quit smoking that I have been sick.
My doctor not in today so I can't call him.
Thanx Lisa

I have been sick in the past and the appetite goes south, as in zero....not good...but I try to listen to the body..

The BG numbers may increase, perhaps for a good reason....just roll with the punches.
