I had a very bad headache yesterday, I slept for around 15 hours but better today! Hoping we won’t see long lasting effects of this xx

I’m T1. I’ve spoken to the GP twice and keeping a close eye on my levels! Thank you for your support [emoji847]

Aww I hope you are much much better now! I’m having a really weird experience with my BG levels. They are consistently low.. i keep having to eat and it’s actually annoying. I guess it’s better than DKA. Still on antibiotics so hoping that should help too! I’m laying down most of the day as i...

Aww Bex! I am glad it is over for you and I hope everyone is well. Indeed, it affects people in different ways. I never had a fever or loss of taste/smell for example. The fatigue continues, it’s been 13 days since contact. I’m hoping to return to work on a 2 month phased return which I am...

Just by way of an update, I feel okay generally just tired. I had really bad diarrhea last wednesday and have it again today. I don’t know whether it’s the antibiotics this time though (definitely wasn’t last time as i hadn’t go them by then). I don’t really have covid symptoms so that’s good (i...

Thank you, I hope so x

Thank you!! That’s all i’m doing literally

I can relate to that so much! Much more hypos than before i must say which is so weird as you would typically associate an infection with high blood sugars.. i am well thank you. Taking antibiotics for my chest infection and just tired really!

I did consider this but I can’t leave the house regardless as I’ve been abroad. Also, my family members whom I’ve visited have all tested positive too. I am thinking to get one done in a weeks’ time or so though.

Thank you, Mrs T! It’s a relief to know that fellow diabetics have also been able to recover well. I do have a slight tightness in my chest which started yesterday. 111 thinks it’s probably a chest infection so i need to call my GP. Other than that, just tired

Thank you

Hello all! Just got my test result back for covid and it is positive.. i have no symptoms really apart from a cough. Contact was probably around 8 days ago now. My sugars are fairly normal too, actually keep dropping weirdly... Has anyone else had covid and what have their experience been...

Thank you all for the responses above. I’ve always been told that diabetics recover slower from infections ‍♀️ i feel quite fatigued so might give it until Monday before I contact the dr again. High blood sugars were the sign i first noticed as well! Not often that my sugars are that high.

Hello all, So last Thursday i was prescribed antibiotics due to an infection in my nose. I have completed the dose but am still getting blood sugars all over the place, fatigue, and a mild fever. I assume that even if the dose is finished that I haven’t actually recovered? And if so, should I...

I really resonate with this. I agree that people without diabetes can find it very hard to understand as they do not have it, but don’t say ‘it’s easy’ or the like! We understand that non-diabetics will never truly comprehend what having the condition will feel like but I don’t think it is...

I will be doing this! Thank you.

My clinician is so useless.. i can hardly ever get a DSN appointment either. Maybe I should enquire with my GP?

Thanks guys! I have started to lower my basal intake. Such an art it is to manage this really :) im going to drop one unit a day and see how it goes.. i bet i’ll go high now.

I dont consider myself hypo at 7.2 but it always happens thereafter! (Sorry guys - just replying to you all) i am now at 5.7 despite the fact that i had sweets before going to bed. I have been type 1 for 6 years, self-isolating, take novorapid and Lantus. It’s just so annoying!!! I keep...

Hello all, Today I had rice, potatoes and aubergines for dinner. Took my usual insulin and around 5.5 hours later my BG was 12.5. I tested half an hour from that time and it had gone down to 7.2. I have been experiencing this for the last couple of days where I eat and inject normal insulin...
