Hello I had suspect Coronavirus around the 30th March and self isolated for two week. Am type one. My bloods were really stable during that time. Suddenly, they have gone wild and over last three days are rarely below 15mmol, often around 20mmol. I have thrown out my in use pens and started...

Yes I was wondering in relation to T1 if it impacted duration of illness or not. Was expecting mine to go after a week but haven't moved from bed today.

Hello Started with symptoms a week ago. On day 7 or 8 now and suddenly got a fever again. Feel terrible. Got a baby and a toddler. Really frightened. For those that had it, how long did it last please? Thanks.

Can I ask anyone who has it or has had it how their bloods have been? Dr is convinced but my bloods have been stable which makes me doubt it? Have had fever, found it hard to breathe, raging headache and sore throat. Been ready with sick day rules but bloods are best they have been for ages...

Normal is over rated thanks for help. There is little guidance about temperature so find it confusing but if you know your basal like we do u know when it's raised which is obviously a sign body is dealing with something? Thats my thinking x

What have ur temps been like? Mine has been constantly running around 37.5 with a few jumps up to 37.8 on the first day. That was enough for my dr to diagnose it over the phone obv. Seems very mild temp altho I do normally run at 36.7

Hello. How are u feeling now? I am on day five and my chest also feels tight. It feels like when u are somewhere really hot and u can't breathe as well? Is that what yours was like? Its hard not to panic isn't it.

Thank you, kind words. You too x

If anything, they have been lower than normal. But, am extra paranoid to keep on top of them and not distracted as much so probably managing better. It's very hard to tell but certainly don't think they have been higher than normal.

Thank you Rokaab and JuicyJ. Made me feel a lot better to read that account, thanks. Will be sure to share mine.

Hello My GP thinks I have it and am on day 3. Feeling frightened as I have a seven month old and a three year old. Trying to act normal for them but am exhausted. Anyone got anything to give me hope? Am fed up of people saying "you will be okay, its the people with long term conditions you...

Hello Has anyone had ketones related to steroid injections in pregnancy? Am only 0.6 but unsure how I will be treated as blood sugar readings are okay. Thanks

Hi Kitedoc Thanks for your reply. Good thinking with the ketones, my team didn't mention that. I do test them when my blood is high and they have been good this pregnancy. I developed them last time when I tried to cut down on carbs too much

Hello MeiChanski Thanks for your reply. Yes they moved me into Fiasp. They told me to only take it 3 mins before eating but I am finding it doesn't reach the spikes in time. What were you told about injection timing? Am tempted to go earlier like I was with Novorapid but unsure how early to do...

Hello Am type one and 32 weeks, its my second pregnancy. I inject and have CGM. Novorapid has just stopped working, have become so resistant. Am taking 1u:2g 60 mins before eating (low carb) and still spiking massively. So fed up. Team have moved me to Fiasp, only tried it for one meal and...

Thanks Colin and Dark Horse. Do you think if I have had it before (I have), I am *more*likely to get it again due to compromised immune system? I asked six different health profs today and none of them could tell me if T1 meant I was more likely to be an unlucky one who got it twice?

Toddler has chicken pox as of today. I had it as a child but am I more at risk of getting it twice because of my diabetes ? Nobody will test my immunity until I ring the GP on Monday and am so frightened. Have spoken to 111, maternity triage, the walk in centre and A and E. They all just say I...

Thank you again. Am on Novorapid, 1:4g at breakfast, 1:6 at lunch and 1:7 at tea. Yes my one hour post prandial readings are always a bit too high but I think they felt I was starting most mornings too high (around 6, they want me at 4 or 5)

Thank you Kitedoc. Their thinking is that I have no coverage of Levemir in the evenings as it doesn't last as long. They feel I am too high in the mornings and want me around 4 or 5 so have moved me. I already hate this team and think they are incompetent so this doesn't help as I feel like I...

Hello Have recently been moved to Triseba, on same dose as Levermir (38u). Have been taking it for a week now and am finding my bloods are far more erratic than they were on Levemir? I thought it was supposed to be stabilising - is this the case for everyone? Have increased by one unit tonight...
