Yep. I have used it multiple times.
Take as you would without diabetes, but ...
Check the carb content and don’t forget to bolus for it.

Be aware your BG may rise due to your cold.
And your cold may feel worse if your BG is raised.
So, test more often than usual and correct if your BG is high.

You may find it helps to increase your basal.

If you don't want the carbs, why not just take a 500mg tablet of paracetamol with a cup of tea on the side?

That may be true but paracetamol makes you feel better than tea when ill

Interestingly, it could also be about the rate of absorption when ingested? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4153977/

If I'm really in a hurry for it to work I simply use those you stick in your other end. Nicely solves the problem of the nasty taste as well

Depends what other drugs you are on - I’m on blood pressure tablets and can only have paracetamol
