Myth 4: People With Diabetes Are More Likely to Get Colds or Flu
Another myth. Although many healthcare providers would recommend that those with diabetes get an annual flu vaccination, this is not because they are more likely to catch it.
The issue is that blood glucose levels are often affected by illness and people with diabetes are more likely to be more seriously ill with flu and more likely to develop complications that could be life threatening.
