Reply #5: I have diabetes and when I get a cold just being sick raises my sugars and my cough gets worse

[Jennicut]

I had a real severe sore throat recently and the cold looked like it was gone but the sore throat came back even worse and it took 4 weeks for my cough to go away. It sucks having diabetes and I'm only 32. For whatever reason my body went a little haywire after I had my second daughter and I had gestational diabetes that never went away. I just hope Chris takes good enough care of himself, sometimes I can tell just by looking at him that his sugars are probably too high. Check your meter Tweety!
