Hello,
I understand what you are going through. Flu is known to precipitate depression and depression can upset your blood sugar very much.
It is important that you get help immediately to make things better. Call a friend or relative now and you should see a doctor who understands your problems.
As you have Type 1 diabetes, insulin has to be taken but there are newer forms of insulin coming which would make it easier for you.
So keep up your spirits and I wish you a fast recovery.
