Please note, I think that including influenza (flu) in this thread might be a bit of a distraction, so please don't ...*
Colds, sniffles, coughs and viruses:
We (diabetics) are apparently supposed to get colds worse than non-diabetics, aren't we?
* I have had normal flu twice in my life, and swine flu once. They were a very different experience (and REALLY deserving of their own thread!) from the cold, cough, snuffle, sinusy virus mentioned above.

- Is that your experience?
- What do you do about it?
- Have over-the-counter cough/cold remedies helped or hindered?
- What do you use as prevention/treatment?
- What effect does a cold have on YOUR blood glucose?
