Cold, flu, diarrhea, or fever disturbs you from managing glucose level stabilized as they stimulate stress hormone to be released more and more when you are under the weather. The stress hormone suppresses your insulin metabolism which leads you to lose an appetite and increase glucose level. In some cases, you would need increased dosage of insulin or hypoglycemic agents. In a nutshell, keeping taking a medication is the answer when you are not feeling good.
Medical Curator gives you 5 rules to control glucose level when you are sick.
Rule 1. Take your usual dosage of insulin or hypoglycemic agent.
Rule 2. Measure your glucose level more than usual. If your glucose level keeps high, take a ketonuria test.
Rule 3. Drink more than enough.
Rule 4. Try to eat the same amount of food as usual.
Rule 5. Take a rest, keep your body warm enough, and keep off exercise.
These 5 rules will help you feel better and safe at home. However, If your glucose level goes over 300 mg/dl, can never drink or eat anything, even feel drowsy and gasp, go to see a doctor as soon as possible.
