Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Maintain a normal diet during your infection. Also step up on your fluids. It will take time but you should feel ok soon.

The fact is that the sugars are always wavering when you have an infection. If you are not getting hypoglycemia episodes, keep up the treatment as before.

If however your diet has reduced, your medicines need to reduce as well

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
