What Is The Treatment For Low Temperature And Type 2 Diabetes?
My normal temp is usually 98.6 but when I am sick - as I am now - it drops to something like 97.3. I feel awful but my husband thinks I am not sick because I do not have a high fever. I am 71, have type 2 diabetes, and am probably working on bronchitis. What does the low temp mean?

The low temperature probably means that your blood circulation has slowed down or is deficient. When that happens, body automatically cuts the blood supply of the periphery so that the vital organs can be sufficiently provided.
Since I am not sure what your symptoms are, I cannot give a more accurate comment.
