Does having diabetes affect the way you fight infection? Cause I have been on and off Ill with chest infections and just never seem to able to fight infection like I used to before being diagnosed
 
HI,

My view is? These cold & flu things adapt every year. That's just what they do. We may have kicked out a fair few viruses before a "strain" has slipped past the "antivirus software"?

Personally. I feel I can fight it off quicker than when I was a kid. (& I've been a diabetic a long time.) , it's still not a pain in the **** when I get it....

I just have to work harder on the BS managment while I'm at it.!
