So, as I'm sure most of you know, us diabetics suffer more so than others when we're ill. (Depending on the situation) I've just got over a UTI infection, and now I'm starting to get a cold I know it's the season to get colds, but it seems I've always got something wrong with me!
Any advice on how to build up my immune system? Thank you x

I get lots vitamin D3 from sun exposure and supplementation, which I've heard can help with colds and flu. There are many presentations/research on the web. Here is one

Hi @Chloesnavy - I take vitamin c daily & if I feel a cold coming on I swear by echinacea too. HTH. Take care
