[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1898942"] When I was first diagnosed, I spotted some cold medicines said not to take if you have diabetes. This concerned me because I had been taking it for a couple of days so I checked with my dn. She said there was no problem and it was the manufacturer being over cautious. In short, I treat a cold with diabetes exactly the same as a cold without diabetes. The only difference is testing and injecting if there are any carbs in the medicine. I find a cold raises my bg and a high bg enhances my cold symptoms so need to take more insulin. If you find the same, you could try increasing your basal slightly. [/QUOTE]
