Message: <blockquote data-quote="ButtterflyLady" data-source="post: 928000" data-attributes="member: 43498">I agree with that, but sometimes if you have bad nasal congestion and can't sleep, it's a short term necessary fix.  Sleeping with a blocked nose leads to mouth breathing and snoring, and if it goes on long enough, sleep apnoea, which is just as bad for diabetes.  It's a trade off I guess; case by case basis.Edited to add:  Promethazine is an anti-histamine and not a decongestant as such. It will decongest, but not as much as a decongestant such as pseudoephidrine.  Also avoid phenylephrine as a decongestant, as studies have shown it doesn't work.  Waste of time.</blockquote>
