Mandy-

Hello! I am sorry I am I've taken so long to get an answer to this question. Colds are terrible but worse for diabetic's in general. My PCP (Primary Care Physician) makes me get a flu shot every year because of the auto immune deficiency. I listed a link to a article written by Terri Coles. If you need more information let me know.
