When I got my provisional licence I can't remember if I declared my type 1 diabetes or not! (10 years ago lol). My question is, do I need to renew...

Does anyone have any idea how to boost your immune system as a diabetic? :? I'm 27 and I've been a diabetic for 15 years now but still get run down all the time despite good blood sugar levels. I get colds, infections, cold sores, tooth abcesses etc and to be quite honest I am getting majorly...
