My mother, who died of complications of Type 2, was also extremely allergic to various pollens, dust mites, smoke, (air pollutants). She suffered terribly with sinus drainage, as did her parents (and as do I). We just went with the old adage that blue eyes and allergies go hand in hand.

I suffered greatly from allergies while a child. Years on shots to get to the point I could function. Multiple bouts of pneumonia resulting from chronic bronchitis.

Now I’m insulin resistant but managing my blood sugars. I’m very tempted to run out and get these OTCs just to try them for a month to see if I lose weight.

He has had very little allergy problems till recently and he is 74. He has the diabetes pretty much under control but not the sinus allergy. Nothing helps.

I never heard that. That’s intriguing.
