- Ignorant people, that say things like "How can you inject yourself, I couldn't do that" and "did you get diabetes as you eat too much sugar?"
Hey everyone
Anyone else got the virus and how are you coping?
I came down with the start of it mid week, started of feeling just like the flu with cough, but without the runny nose. Now experiencing tight chest and breathing is not so easy, light headed too maybe due to lower oxygen saturation. I've had diabetes since I was 17, so coming up 23 years. Also have asthma and a heart condition.
I'm coping okay so far, it feels like it's getting worse each day, but I'm hoping that will soon stop and I'll start getting better. Having to take multiple small injections of Flaps to try to keep my blood sugars down. Luckily have Libre, lots of test strips for blood glucose and ketones, so monitoring it closely.
Keep safe everyone and remember self care during this time. If anyone's got through this already, be good to here your experience.
