Cold medicine to take with Diabetes

Chicken soup and citrus fruit. A hot ginger tea with a little brandy in it. Hot lemon aid with cinnamon. Hot moist towels on your sinuses. How about a soft blanket to curl up in and a dull movie on TV so you can sleep? Perhaps a steam for moisture in the room? What do I know! None of us are doctors and even the doctors don't know, as there is no cure for the common cold except staying down and taking it easy. But I do care. Dorisena
