Type 2 Diabetes blood levels spikes.

My blood levels have been high ranging from 7.2 - 8.4 in the mornings since I caught a cold/flu virus. Is this normal and do they return back to normal levels which were between 4.4-5.5 in the morning after the cold/flu virus leaves the body.

  1. Hi , apologies for the delayed response. How are your blood sugar levels now? It is normal for levels to be higher when sick (https://type2diabetes.com/living/sick), but they should go back to normal. If you have concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor as well (if you haven't already). Hope you feel better soon. Best, Minel (Team Member)

    1. Yes, they have returned to normal levels thank you.
