So, here I am again typing on the forum. I get sick every other week, here I am, sick again. Im wondering if anybody else gets sick every other week! I get, the flu, colds, viral infections etc. So, yall as diabetics, how do you avoid this? My mom said vitamins would help but I haft to ask my fellow diabetics =D

Thankyou,

Michael

The above post says it all for me.
Just as I was going to write, I noticed the above post which is where I was going.

read this post about swine flu control... the idea of this is to stop any other person's disease (gastro, flu, colds, TB, etc) bug getting into you...(nose, eyes, mouth, airways).

For me, face touching, nose and eye rubbing is a big no no !
When I was diagnosed at seventeen I was very often sick. But the better my A1c was the lower was the frequency of becoming ill. So I think that you are dealing with the aftermath of your manifestation in 2009. Try to aim at good A1c numbers below 6.5 and keep up the good spirit.
