Does my blood sugar rise when i'm sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glucose rise: Yes, blood glucose does typically rise during illness. This is a response to body stress and cortisol and adrenaline release. On the other hand, if you are ill and not eating, continuing to take metformin might cause hypoglycemia. On sick days, always check your finger glucose 4x per day.
