Flu medication?

[MisplacedIdentity]

Hi I usually take beechams all in one but now I'm diabetic according to the leaflet I can;t have it.

What do you all take?

I'm type 1 - but still under investigation and waiting for GAD results.
I'm on metformin with meals and Levemir for my long lasting insulin.

Hi @MisplacedIdentity,
Just to clarify, by 'flu' do you mean a cold, upper respiratory infection or real influenza?

I rely on my fluvax to keep me protected against influenza, for the common colds I use use single malt whisky.

MisplacedIdentity - fortunately I rarely pick up viruses, but if you're unclear on this, a quick chat with the pharmacist would work, I'm sure.

Hi there,

I will normally take Lemsip Max Strength Capsules.. They are sugar free.. Always seem to work for me nor seem to make any difference to glucose levels.. For me anyhow..

Thanks everyone, I called the diabetic team, they reassured me that I could still take Beechams and advised me to up my insulin too as my levels were high.
