Flu Infections Can Raise Blood Sugar and Reveal Undiagnosed Diabetes
Influenza can cause blood sugar levels to rise even when appetite decreases, due to stress hormones released during infection. People with diabetes should monitor their glucose closely and consult doctors before adjusting medications. A case in Delhi highlighted how undiagnosed diabetes was revealed during severe H1N1 infection, complicating treatment. Diabetes can impair immune response, increasing risks from infections like the flu. Early monitoring and medical guidance are crucial for managing both conditions effectively.
