[QUOTE="Picci, post: 2263111, member: 12512"] DKA.... you hit the nail on the head. Can you honestly imagine the strain on the NHS trying to keep a type one diabetic alive, with DKA on top of everything else? My general experience from the occasions I’ve been to hospital for surgery, (shoulder twice, foot once,) is that they will do anything to leave the control to you rather than have to deal with it themselves. And rightly so, we know how to manage our condition and I have been lucky enough to have nerve blocks for my three surgeries therefore I was able to test and adjust my insulin (pump) doses accordingly. We are NOT at increased risk of getting covid, the diabetic complications would kill us. I [/QUOTE]
