Paracetamol doesn't affect blood glucose, but it can be used to treat high temperature / fever, usually caused by infection, and that cause can raise blood glucose levels. What did you take it to treat?
 
A stinking head/chest cold
 
Not normally, you may be interested in this list of 390 drugs which affect BG readings:http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/drugs-that-can-affect-blood-glucose-levels/ These are drugs which affect your blood glucose. I read somewhere, cannot remember where, on a Blood Glucose meter that said that the strips reading (because of the chemistry) can be affected by either Paracetemol or Aspirin, again cannot remember.
