I'm kind of the same attitude, Sarah. I've been Type 2 for 15 years and had the flu virus only 2/3 times. The last time I had flu was before I even acquired T2D.

The latest CDC data of co-morbitity deaths with diabetes in the top three. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6924e2.htm?s_cid=mm6924e2_w

Dr Been on YouTube is doing 2 very informative videos for Diabetics. The first one, link below, is for Type 2 and the second one is about Type 1 which will come later.

I got a text this morning. I'd come under the underlying conditions category with 2 of them - T2D and HBP.

I was told by my diabetic clinic nurse (I went last in Feb 2020) to take the flu jab - up to this point, I hadn't taken it - because getting the flu would weaken my immune system and make me more vulnerable to getting Covid and having a real hard time with either both at the same time or one...

Just off the phone to my doctor. THEIR latest scientific information is that ACEs are not to blame for the high numbers of deaths we see in hypertension sufferers (those who took meds that are ACEs) e.g. in Italy. (ACEs and ARBs are also found in some diabetes medications but not Metformin I...

The BMJ are also.concerned about ACEs and ARBs in no need like lisinipril. https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m810/rr-2

I only have chairs and sofas though...

This is a Newsmax article on a Rome-based study. https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/virus-pandemic-italy/2020/03/18/id/958878/?ns_mail_uid=5770e4d0-23df-4fc4-be77-e3797f656054&ns_mail_job=DM98366_03182020&s=acs&dkt_nbr=010502ilhg7u

Except when it gets dark. Then the vampyres come out! Can't speak for the females but quite a few men have never been able to grasp the importance of washing hands after toileting in pubs. Maybe this will galvanize them a bit more.

He and Dr John Campbell have very good and very helpful channels. I watch Dr John each night.

Would have helped if I put the link in! Sorry about that. https://www.newsmax.com/health/health-news/blood-pressure-medications-virus-outbreak-pandemic/2020/03/17/id/958643/?ns_mail_uid=5770e4d0-23df-4fc4-be77-e3797f656054&ns_mail_job=DM98360_03172020&s=acs&dkt_nbr=0101242pe8lt

This, from Newsmax. Note how the Europeans are saying we must keep.taking them. Who to believe? What advice to take? The Chinese have rendered this important enough to report and study it - three times.

Yeah. Just saw that on the NHS page about Lisiniprol - no evidence that it conflicts with treatment of Covid 19 but there have been 3 Chinese studies saying that there may be.

There's clearly a link to ACEs and the knock on effects of treating Covid 19 reported by the Chinese and written about in Lancet!

Just bumped into this on the NHS website. Check out the yellow warning box. https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/lisinopril/

Well.done, Bill!

I've managed to get a phone appointment on Friday morning. Until then, I'm stopping taking Lisiniprol and continuing with the rest of my meds that haven't been reported as being harmful to potential Covid 9. I'll go for walks everyday and watch my carbs and sugar intake and check my bp. No doubt...

Are patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus at increased risk for COVID-19 infection?

Ok, that's good. Thanks Brunn!
