I have a cold, and it seems to be raising my glucose

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this happening to them. I've had a cold for a couple of days, and this morning I did a finger-prick test two hours after eating the same breakfast I always have. Invariably on previous occasions I've got a reading of 5.7mmol/l (or 103mg/dL for Americans!) from this meal. This morning, it was 7.2 (130). Still not a dangerous level but a bit of a surprise. Sleep, exercise, time of day etc all the same - my cold I am sure is the only variant. Is this normal?
