My husband was Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in Aug, 2010 and has been getting several colds...he takes 1000 units of Vitamin C - previously,he only got 1 cold yearly..I have COPD and my immune system is not the greatest meaning I catch some of his colds...Any suggestions here and thank you..
Do you have any other underlying illness other than COPD? If you are susceptible to colds and acute exacerbations, it is preferable to get vaccinated for H. Influenza. Other than that maintain good nutrition, get exercise and lose weight if you are on the heavier side.
