[QUOTE="zand, post: 2316829, member: 85197"] I have been mulling over whether to start this thread for weeks. Much is said here about the risks of dying of Covid being quite low, but not a lot has been said about life after Covid. After receiving lovely support from a poster on another thread yesterday I decided to go ahead and take the plunge and start a thread for those of us who haven't recovered quickly from the illness. I had Covid-19 back in March and am still struggling. After the 35 days of coughing passed, I declared I was getting over it. How wrong was I?! I still have fatigue, breathlessness, tired limbs, muscle pains, joint pains and my brain just doesn't work as well as it used to. As for BGs, they aren't great either, but I admit I haven't had the energy to test regularly or do anything about them. I was a well controlled T2 before having the virus. I suspect that post Covid my T2 is always going to be a lot harder to control. Anyhow, enough about me, over to you. How are you? And how are you coping? Let's share our experiences here and maybe we can help one another. :) Edit: I have put this thread in the T2 section as I am T2 myself, but please feel free to use this thread if you have another type of diabetes alongside Long Covid, I never meant it to be exclusively for T2s. We're in this together. :) [/QUOTE]
