Bottom Line on COPD and Diabetes

At the current time, we aren't certain exactly how COPD and diabetes interact or how they influence each other, though it does appear that inflammation is an underlying factor in both conditions. Thankfully, measures taken to improve your COPD may help your diabetes, and vice versa. It's likely that these health measures will also result in improvements of other conditions related to inflammation ranging from heart disease to cancer.

Controlling each condition separately will help in reducing the progression.

My opinion don't give up.

Infections are not characteristic in emphysema.

Oh dear me we are in a right state, All on this site have one main thing in common our lung condition, our next common bond is how we gel together and share our troubles, health problems and how we make light of what we do to get through each day. Type 2 is my next stage with an IGS of 45 I am known as pre diabetic diabetes 2 with out all the frills, I have a horrific pressure ulcer which has been on the go since January. But one thing I not do is dwell on things. Each day is the start of the rest of my life whatever crap you have to face get on with it. I empathize with you if you go I have one friend left on here to get through the day with so please no more defeatist talk we all love you and will be here for you thick or thin.

I have had COPD for the past 27 years and then two years ago maybe even three was told I have Diabetes type 2 at no time have I felt that it has made my COPD worsen. Hope this helps you.
