[QUOTE="JonBoy1199, post: 2240885, member: 358329"] NHS 111 was very helpful, just told to follow sick day rules for Diabetes, use my bleu inhaler as I feel I need it and try to rest. They said if I feel I can't cope looking after myself then I need to call and they'll arrange to get me into the hospital. The breathlessness is what's getting me the most. I'm out of breath just going up the stairs, struggled to shower yesterday and even loading the dishwasher this morning left me out of breath and took longer than it should. My partner has it too, we both came down with it at the same time, but he's got it so much milder than I have, though he doesn't have any underlying health conditions, so is doing okay. We've been isolated for several days, but we have a great community in the village and they been looking out for us with dropping shopping. The ironic thing is we were both following the social distancing as advised for people with diabetes. I think I caught it queuing at Tesco pharmacy for my insulin last Sunday, as that is the only place I went to before I got sick. Then as soon as I realize I have all the symptoms the letter comes through the door as you have multiple health issues, we recommend you stay home for 12 weeks. A bit late now lol Oh well, I'm just taking it day by day and hoping for the best outcome. [/QUOTE]
