Diabetes and increased infection risks
As a person with Type 1 diabetes who seems to constantly pick up chest infections, I was almost relieved to read this note about how folks with diabetes are more prone to general infections.
The leader of the study, Dr. Bhagirath Singh, stressed the importance of vaccinations for those with diabetes. But what do you do when you've taken all of the normal vaccinations?
Do you have anything that worked for you in reducing how many coughs and colds that you picked up?
Diabetes: technology, devices, software, and other stuff.
About Me
I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I currently wear a Minimed 512 insulin pump and will shortly switch to a Cozmo 1800 pump. I also wear a Dexcom CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
