I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, it's not a good place to be. Do as shiftzor says... increase your dose a little, but take some extra tests too just to be safe. I hear your distress at seeing high numbers, but it's not human to expect good control when your body is fighting an infection - it's simply impossible for many of us and our bodies!

So you need to change your expectations while really sick... it's just not remotely fair to beat yourself up over good control at this time. That said if you can increase your dose a little and start seeing, say 9s to 11s, that would be better on your system and help with getting better.

Still, the first port of call is avoid spiralling out of control and you are succeding at that! Keep up the good work. Remember too that high BGs cause depressed feelings/thoughts for many of us... shake it off however you can, keep on concentrating on taking it easy on yourself and relaxing.
