I try to eat high protein, low carb when I'm sick. Also I know it is temporary, so as long as they aren't dangerously high, I don't worry about them too much.

It's a good idea to talk with your doctor to develop a sick-day plan so you know what to do before you become sick. There's a good explanation of why blood sugar levels often go up when you're sick, plus recommendations on how to manage blood sugar levels when you're not feeling well here: http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/treatment-and-care/whos-on-your-health-care-team/when-youre-sick.html ~Lynn /Glucerna
