Morning everyone, awoke on 4.7 although yesterday was difficult my temp hit 37.8 so took two paracetamol and it had come down to 37.5 before bed. This morning it is 37.6 so I’m really trying hard not to freak out because I nearly vomited out of anxiety yesterday. Hope you all have a good day...

Hi Mei thank you for sharing your experience, how you are feeling symptoms wise? Have you tried setting up a minimum payment plan with utility bill / companies surely they should be understanding given the current climate and at least accept a minimum payment even if it’s as little as £10 a...

I really have become a hypochondriac in recent years and this uncertain period in which we are living has probably made that worse. yes I’ve got my laptop so might watch some movies to keep me occupied. I spoke to my diabetic nurse today and she told me that my HBA1C had come down from 65 in jan...

Hi guys, Hope everyone is well, I’ve not been about as my uncle passed away last week and we’re to attend his funeral via zoom tomorrow due to covid restrictions, I feel so bad for my mother as she never got to see him. Apart from that I’ve been running a temperature of 37.5/6 for the past...

Hey everyone, hope all is well with you all, woke to a bg of 5.8. Officially back to WFH after two weeks off due to illness. Feels quite good to have some sort of routine again. Still have a sore throat and phlegmy cough but drinking plenty of warm fluids to help combat that!

Hello, I totally understand what you mean, my fears have heightened during this pandemic and every little thing is making me question my blood glucose levels. I think that as long as you have good control which it definitely sounds like you have and you recognise when you have to implement your...

Hello! Thank you I’m so grateful for your response, I had a call with my diabetic consultant this morning which was reassuring she said my control is good and HBA1C is decent too. She said not to focus on media and numbers too much which I’m going to start doing. I’ve started watching a series...

Morning guys, hope everyone is well. I woke up with a sugar of 3.6 so treated it with some lucozade. Woken up feeling very anxious again.

Yes that’s exactly what I’ve been drinking, my mum had made an Indian concoction that is supposed to help the throat and chest so I add a teaspoon of that into my lemon water too. Thank you!

Thank you jaylee, yes I’m trying my best to keep positive and take each day as it comes trying not to look at the news and numbers so much. Been having some chest tightness the past few nights but usually disappears by the morning. So drinking lots of warm fluids and taking paracetamol. Even...
