Being ill can turn into a vicious cycle.
Stress on the body, such as a cold, can cause your liver to dump glucose and raise levels. Raised levels exaggerate any aches, pains, sniffs, coughs, … which lead to more liver dumps which raise levels higher which …
The trick is to treat highs when unwell and keep levels lower.

It depends on how much insulin you originally had and what your number was before eating but you should be able to correct that
