Hi Folks! Hope you had a good holiday.

My wife and I are 50 something. She is borderline Type 2. As you already know, I'm a definite Type 2. Both of us in control with low carb diet and  I'm on Metformin as well.  So, all of a sudden the wife gets a raging cold she is beating back and I'm catching what she has. Checked our sugar as usual. I shot up to an unprecedented 240, she shot up to 271 ! Real scary cause we are being good. Gotta be the cold? But why? What is the physiology and chemistry doing to influence the  body to raise this sugar from a cold?

Thanks,

Carl & Karen

P.S. Not my main question but as an after thought would it hurt her to slip her one of my Metformin to get her lower or because she doesnt take Metformin just wait till the cold subsides to see if the sugar level changes by itself?
