Hello, Thanks for the query.
In a person with diabetes generally the resistance is lowered. So there can be repeat infections. Hence, it is absolutely essential to achieve a very strict blood glucose control. Ideally FBG: should be <100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. With good blood glucose control, healthy balanced diet and regular exercise for about 1 hour a day, he should be able to live free from repeat infections. Viral fevers are fairly common and usually self limiting. When a person improves his fitness and maintains good control on blood glucose, these problems can be avoided. There is no reason to panic or think in terms of some serious diseases. Thanks.
