Does a cold affect blood sugar levels in diabetics?

Patient's question:

Does a cold affect blood sugar levels in people with diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: If a diabetic gets a cold, it may have a certain impact on blood sugar levels. It is recommended that you do not adjust the dosage of your blood sugar-lowering medication based on your blood sugar levels during this period.
Medical Advice: Due to the relatively lower immunity in diabetics, getting a cold can easily lead to bacterial and viral infections, which may affect blood sugar control. I suggest that you pay special attention to this. I hope my answer can help you. Wishing you health and happiness.
