There is not a thing wrong with your cholesterol results. They are good. :)

I would have thought recording symptoms was equally important. If the vaccine is shown to be effective, what use is it if people are terribly ill just having the vaccine?

You beat me to it. I was preparing my post when yours popped up! In any case, we in England can't go abroad anywhere including Denmark during lockdown except for work

We had a dog walk along a normally very busy road into our town from the by-pass. It was noticeably quieter than normal, and on the side roads in the residential areas there were more cars parked in the driveways than previously.

Have you been told it is due to diabetes? I have been type 2 for coming up to 7 years but my platelets are bang on where they should be, and have been throughout.

Thank you. I have signed.

The Dean of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, Dr. Pittard, said so during an interview last night. I saw no reason to doubt her.

The Nightingales are there, fully equipped. However, they need staff. The staff have to be taken from hospitals, leaving shortages in hospitals and elsewhere, which leads to cancellation of other medical procedures.

Hi Karen, I'm not T1. I was diagnosed with T2 during my treatment for breast cancer. I also did not need a mastectomy as my lumpectomy worked. I did have the most aggressive form of breast cancer (Her2 +++) and apart from not having a mastectomy I had the kitchen sink thrown at me...

A business man was quoted in the press as saying why should we ruin the lives of the young in order to save a FEW THOUSAND elderly or vulnerable people

Boris is speaking to the nation at 4pm today. Must be urgent to be so sudden and on a Saturday.

As I mentioned earlier about my own particular area. A good part of the spread between towns and counties is because people travel between them for work and study - and not restricted to university students. Younger people travel out of their local area to attend sixth form colleges, vocational...

I have answered on the other thread.

This was on the thread about wearing masks https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/covid-19-are-you-wearing-a-mask.173926/page-18#post-2324339 but we were digressing from the topic, so I have replied here. No, I don't, in the main. I believe it is because my borough has a boundary with a...

I rarely do any shopping. My husband does it. All I do is take the dog for 2 walks a day, avoiding others. For that I do not wear a mask. When I do have to visit a shop, hairdresser or similar, I do wear an FFP2 mask. I sanitise my hands before entering and again on leaving. I have an alcohol...

I have done the calculator again, with my own details including T2 but saying I was age 99. This is what it said In other words in a crowd of 10000 people with the same risk factors, 19 are likely to catch and die from COVID-19 and 42 to be admitted to hospital during a 90 day period similar to...

Agreed, but the questionnaire does not mention osteoporosis. All it says is "Had a prior fracture of hip, wrist, spine or humerus". It does not ask when or how recently, how it happened, or how old you were at the time. This is what makes me query the reason it appears on the questionnaire.

My first fracture was aged 2 when I fell down the stairs and broke 2 bones in a leg. A photo I have of me sitting on Santa's knee wearing a cast proves this! The next and last was a broken wrist in my 30's, about 40 years ago. I doubt either of those count.

I wonder why breaking certain bones in the past is a risk factor. I would imagine most of us have had a fracture of some description during our life time.

You need to know what the 137 is. You are entitled to print outs of test results and can ask the receptionist for this . If you are in England you can also apply to have test results put on line. Again, you need to ask about this.
