[QUOTE="Robert_D, post: 2258765, member: 438009"] Sorry to hijack your thread [USER=471568]@DCB 2[/USER] but thought it might be helpful as you have said in your original post " I have made sure that my blood sugar are the correct range along with my blood pressure to mitigate things" Well as a T2D Diagnosed in 2000, that was diet only controlled, not on any diabetic meds due to lifestyle changes, was Diagnosed with Covid 19 (April) sent to ICU within a day of being admitted, severe drop of oxygen levels from 92-50% (even though was on supplemental Oxygen,), put on a ventilator , put on Insulin and survived.. I have post in T2D "Covid 19 Survival post ICU/Ventilator T2 D " not to shock but to give my very real personal experience with Covid as a well controlled individual and it is not just based on theory but a very real experience. I hope it to adds to the debate. It in a condensed personal diary form that gives a real timescale of how quick and dangerous this disease is in reality to those with Diabetes, no matter( it would appear), how well controlled BG levels and weight control are. And for those whose glucose levels shoot off the charts and those may be battling with drops in oxygen levels whilst the immune system battling against a complete onslaught that this disease brings at the same time. I don't think as to the theories of why matters only to be vigilant of symptons and react quickly, very quickly. [/QUOTE]
