covid 19

Hi all I tested positive for Covid yesterday after getting the sore throat and congestion symptoms that seem to be common with Omicron. Have since found out my daughters entire class have come down with it, and so we have our main culprit for where it came from! As type 1 this has obviously...

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes only 2 weeks after my 2nd dose of the Moderna vaccine, therefore almost indefinitely had diabetes before I had my second dose. I had no reaction to my first dose back in July at all, no symptoms what so ever. However I reacted pretty badly in my opinion to...

I had a positive PCR test on 30th Oct' 21, so began the 10 days isolation. I had a headache as my solitary symptom. At this point I stopped exercise and respected the condition with bed rest. After a few days the headache subsided, so felt I was on the road to recovery. Two days after my...

Hi All, I'm rather concerned about the fact that I have not been able to get an appointment to be tested for covid 19. Also I'm curious about the jabs. I'd like to know which of the jabs are best for a male with type 2 diabetes. Does anyone have any thoughts please?

I had my AZ vaccine on 27/02 and the next day while the reading were a little high they were all within 6.8, then yesterday they were in high 6 but still did not cross 7 but today its consistently in 7 and has even gone to 8.4 at times. Bizzare as it may sound but today when reading is high and...

I found this paper in my travels. It is a follow on from some research that I noted earlier in the year https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2818-3 If this hypothesis gets to be proven to be valid, then it opens the door for a simple screening process like we already use for our...

Hello! I have to say I am not originally from England but have been living/working there at the beginning of this pandemic....I am aware some people with diabetes want or have the option of staying and working from home if they want to because they are considered higher risk regarding covid 19...

So long story short... I was working as a bank worker at a hospital. I was diagnosed with diabetes at the beginning of April. Since then I have not been able to go back (due to social distancing) (nurse advice). Couple weeks ago had an email saying they are terminating my contract because I...

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I would be interested in people's views. I'm a 67 year old T1D and I've had diabetes for over 45 years. I have never let it stop me enjoying life and doing adventurous stuff, but now I feel differently. I see many other people going back to a...
