NBH-   Hello! I had a great holiday, hope you and the Mrs. did too! I am sorry Mrs. NBH is suffering from a cold. When you have a cold it causes stress to your body.  There are hormones that are released and those hormones can fight the cold but is it is a lot harder for your body to use insulin in the way it should be use.  Medication can also cause blood sugar to rise. Mr. NBH, please do not share your medication with your wife. It's againist the law. Let her Physician make the call when it comes to presciption mediciations. If her blood sugar will not go down you should call her physician.  I hope Mrs. NBH feel's better soon.   Cherise Community Moderator
