Hi just had the latest Covid infection which I suspect is the FLiRT variant.

Symptoms with the initial infection not as bad as previous ones I’ve had but the subsequent fatigue has been a challenge. I’m about 10 days since symptoms began. Feel much better in the sense of no aches and pains, fever, sore throat runny nose but the fatigue feel is really surprising.

My BS levels are unchanged from the normal pattern. This is a good thing.

Anyone else had this? How have you been affected?

The last time I had Covid was in June, but I have no idea what variant that would have been. I just know that I was feeling very unwell, and tested positive for Covid. High temperature, high blood glucose readings, cough, and aches and pains. As usual, when I have a high temperature my blood glucose readings go up, resulting in the need for more insulin.
