Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Much is being made of the successful use of dexamethasone to treat Covid19.

However one side effect is to possibly create or exacerbate hyperglycemia.

Has anyone had the misfortune to both be hospitalised with Covid19 and be treated by dexamethasone?

Just wondering how serious this might be.
