4.9. Off Metformin since 5/10. LCHF for last 10 weeks and OMAD. (One meal a day) Diagnosed T2D in 2000

I had mitigated by what I believed was good practice but tell my fiancee when she was told I only had a 50/50 chance about theories 3 days after being admitted in to hospital.. The fact in my case was that I didn't have a cough, just very fatigued. She called the ambulance and I didn't want to...

They were,that just it. All these theories go out the window, it messes with oxygen saturation, completely messes with well controlled BG levels, causes inflammation of the lungs and pneumonitis too. On the positive side, it is the best weight loss program I have ever been on. That's the...

Sorry to hijack your thread @DCB 2 but thought it might be helpful as you have said in your original post " I have made sure that my blood sugar are the correct range along with my blood pressure to mitigate things" Well as a T2D Diagnosed in 2000, that was diet only controlled, not on any...

Great news. Funnily my Fiancee did order pulse Oximeter but it arrived a week after being admitted in to hospital. LOL

Hi MTS1980 Sorry for hijacking your thread but if it helps I posted my experience of surviving Covid post ICU/Ventilator and spike in BG being diet only controlled last month (April) that may possibly assist you and your question. It is only my personal journey mind of this terrible...

@HSSS Thank you for your post. I totally agree with your sentiment. In my experience the underlying condition of diabetes & Covid is it is still able to mess with our body regardless. My advice is to be vigilant even if you don't have a cough, don't rely just on good control alone, There are...

Hi Beastie_boy82 Didn't want to hijack your thread but if it If it helps, I have posted on T2 forum my very own personal experience which details how Covid, affected a well controlled T2 (me) that should answer some of your questions on BG spike, ICU and Ventilator during a 2 week stint in...
