Diabetes?: I presume that you are already diagnosed with diabetes? If so it is common for your sugar level to increase when you are sick. This is because the 'stress hormone' called cortisol is elevated when you're unwell which directly inhibits the action of insulin. If you take insulin you may require a higher dose for a day or two. If the level is very high you should see your Dr.
