Does being sick affect numbers?
Does being sick affect numbers?
So I'm currently fighting a cold and I'm trying to keep my temp under 99.9. I've taken Tylenol, drank plenty of water, and also took children's dimetapp to help with the congestion.

Yes I was told it does

Yes it does. My doctor had to increase my glyburide from 5mg to 15mg daily to keep my numbers in check once I got sick.

Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to keep them regulated while sick? Or is it just something that's out of my control?
I'm not on insulin btw

I honestly tried so many things... and nothing worked except medication. ? I'm sorry. I would call your doctor.

How are you doing now? I never received any tips on managing numbers while sick, but my GD nurse did confirm that being sick can affect your numbers.

I've noticed my numbers are only higher when my temperature goes up. If I keep my temp below 99.0 then they are fine. It sucks because I'm not even hungry, but I know it's important that I eat.

Ugh, that stinks. (Though good that you found a way to keep your numbers down!) Hope you feel better soon!
