I have recently had a cough and cold which is clearing. My insulin levels have almost tripled in this time and showing no signs of returning to pre illness levels. Should I be concerned?

Welcome Led.
Not a HCP..but we all hope to be able to help.
You have just become insulin resistant whilst your body fights the infection.
Use the sick day rules which you can find in the DAFNE Course Handbook...hyperlink in blue on the top right of the page under DAFNE TOOLS.
When there...go to Coping when you are ill link.
Have been struggling to control my Blood Glucose levels for a number of days too. Grotty Christmas cold strikes again!
Get well soon.
Best Wishes to you all.
Regards
Garry
