Don't know why the difference, but have noticed it as well. "My father use to tell me feed a cold starve the sick." He said to fight a cold the body needs more food, but food feeds the sickness. Which was what he was taught when young at the beginning of the last century.
As for your first question on why bg's rise before we notice getting sick. The only thing I have been able to come up with is one of the first things the body does after it senses loosing the antibody war with antibodies is to increase the bodies temperature. Always thought the rise was to fuel the fever response.
