Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

I managed to get my HbA1c down from 58 to 46 in just four months and was so excited to be able to start TTC. I was just waiting for an eye screening appointment and then coronavirus hit, and we decided not to try after all. Now I’m really struggling to maintain such tight control and don’t know how long I can keep it up for, but I know that services aren’t back up to normal yet. When the pandemic started I was working as a surgeon, and the hospital director said “type 1 diabetes isn’t high risk, you can continue to work frontline” which was obviously rubbish (he’s a diabetes specialist as well). I did develop a cough and my sugars went insane, which I think may have been the virus, but as I never get tested I can’t be certain. Bear in mind though, there’s no evidence that having the virus actually confers any immunity. Even if you’ve already had it, there’s the chance that you could get it again, and many people have tested positive twice as two separate incidences. I only say this because I don’t want people to have a false sense of security and potentially put themselves at risk, thinking that they can’t catch it again!</blockquote>
