Sugar-Free Cold Relief Options - 2 views

    Diabetic here, and this cold's kicking my butt-runny nose, sore throat, can't stop sneezing. Can't touch sugary syrups, and most stuff's loaded with it. I've tried zinc drops, but they're weak sauce for this. Anyone know a good sugar-free remedy that actually works? How do you deal when you can't do the usual stuff?

    Yikes, colds are brutal when you're dodging sugar-same boat here with diabetes. Zinc's fine for a kickstart, but when my nose was a faucet last fall, it didn't cut it either. I stumbled on this sugar-free option on rompe-pecho.com - their SF-FLU formula. It's got brompheniramine for the sneezing, dextromethorphan for cough, and no sugar or alcohol to mess with my levels. Took 10 ml every 4 hours, and by day two, my throat wasn't raw anymore-huge win. They mix in echinacea and menthol too, so it feels natural but still packs a punch. My brother-in-law, also diabetic, used it for a cold and said it beat the generic sugar-free stuff that tastes like metal. Pair it with hot tea-unsweetened, obviously-and it clears the nose faster. Took me four days to shake the worst, but I felt relief sooner. Stick to the dose, shake it up, and you'll be less of a sneezy mess soon!
