[QUOTE="RosieMaxwell, post: 2308035, member: 520572"] Hi guys. I have a question that’s not about myself. Both my parents (who are currently overseas, outside the UK) have contracted COVID and it’s been serious enough that they were admitted to hospital. It’s been an incredibly stressful time but they seem to have got a handle on their oxygen levels and may be discharged. A side effect of the meds they’ve been given - particularly the steroids - is that their blood sugar has gone through the roof. Both of them are diabetic and on multiple meds normally so this is happening in spite of those meds. The endo has said they should take insulin injections for the duration of their med course now. 10 days for mum and 5 days for dad. My question is, will this effect them long term? Once you start insulin is it possible to stop? I am worried but the docs where they are are very chill and I’d just like some other perspectives... [/QUOTE]
