Yes, blood sugar (glycemia) is usually higher when you have an acute infection because the fighting hormones in your body are hyperactive and these hormones often have hyperglycemic effect. In fact, during an acute infection, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a poor prognostic sign because your fighting hormones have weakened.

It would be normal if your eating patten changed, Go to Drugs.com and review the effect of these on glucose control and also enter all meds into their interaction to see if a combo might also affect your glucose or insulin changes,
