To add I'm Type 1 I meantHello this has probably been mentioned many times as it's worrying to read online about Diabetes and Covid. I am 23 years old and have had Diabetes for 10 years. My last hca1 was 53 in UK terms. Am I at severe risk? Also I have had symtoms for about 5 days but the PCR tests have only just picked it up on day 5 where I feel terrible and achy. What's everyone's experience with Covid and what advice do you have?
I was genuinely due to go to get my booster today but had to cancel as symptoms were getting worsehttps://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coron...er-risk/who-is-at-high-risk-from-coronavirus/
I'm sorry to hear that you have Covid and hope that you have someone to look after you.
Diabetics are still on the list of people who are at higher risk of severe illness and who are advised to get a booster vaccination ASAP.
Hi, I am also type 1 & had covid just over a year ago. Best advice I can give is to make sure you follow your sick day rules & take medication that you would normally take for flu/cold. Keep your fluids up & check your BG regularly. If levels are high check for ketones. I found my BG had unexpected lows aswell as expected highs.I was genuinely due to go to get my booster today but had to cancel as symptoms were getting worse
What rotten luck! I hope you recover soonI was genuinely due to go to get my booster today but had to cancel as symptoms were getting worse
I think mines caused from not eating much in the past few days and probably not taking extra insulin even though my sugars aren't that highI have Covid right now as well. My blood sugar is running about 30% higher than normal. Hoping it goes back down soon.
Pretty much the same! Not that unwell just having to deal with the Diabetes side of things. My ketones are back down to 0.2 for nowI had covid a couple of weeks ago. A few days after having my booster
Symptoms were mild thankfully. Body aches etc
But
Blood sugars high
And
Unfortunately still high
Bit of a nightmare
But I don't feel.unwell and I hope sugar levels will settle
Back to 1.8 again this morningI am on day 4 and bloods back to normal. My moning bloods went from my usual 4 - 4.5 to 4.9 and 5.5 and tested positive the same morning but to day its back to normal with a 4.0. I have to wait till tuesday for my day 6 test. I didnt notice having it, my voice got a bit deeper but i took lozengers with zinc in but my wife was pretty bad and the children had sore throats so my advice would be stock up on throat lozengers, spary and something cold for the throat, icecream for the non diabetics
I feel like I take a big correction and drink lots of water it comes down to even minimal Ketones. 5 hours later it decides to shoot up again. My blood sugar's the highest they've been is 15.0 but again comes straight back down again. For the past few days I've not really been eating properly, do you think this could also be causing this unusual behaviour?Back to 1.8 again this morning
I feel like this is going to be a constant battle
I've been told that If you don't eat for long periods you can get ketone so that could be the cause. Hope you feel better soon.I feel like I take a big correction and drink lots of water it comes down to even minimal Ketones. 5 hours later it decides to shoot up again.

I can see th correlation. My blood sugar's are rather high but every two hours I'm having a piece of toast or an apple. Just tested again and it's LO which is crazyI've been told that If you don't eat for long periods you can get ketone so that could be the cause. Hope you feel better soon.
