[QUOTE="IronLioness, post: 2284400, member: 492004"] Good to know there are others out there, thanks Ziggy, and thanks for the link, I'll look into that and read up. I had the clot and PEs 5 years ago this October and I remember the Specialist I spoke to about it who said that if either does reoccur it'll happen within 5 years, after that there's a greatly reduced risk. I've got that at the back of my mind when I keep hearing this darned news of Covid basically manifesting blood clots, i thought I was ok, mindset wise, but it's now on US and UK news networks I've watching so I might have caught the fear-factor. I didn't know that about high insulin and BG levels increasing risk, but that totally makes sense. And it worries the bejezus out of me! I'm trying to keep focused on working out to keep that blood pumping and pancreas doing what it needs to do, I might increase it to x2 workouts a day though. I've tried to cut down on the news I hear/read, too... I know a lot of it is media hype but because I work in healthcare, it's so much harder to 'turn off' where I see the information. It's kind of like a triple-whammy, when you have T2 (non insulin) and trying to manage that, you've had a DVT & PE's and now we all have to deal with Covid which seems to be targeting diabetics, along with other conditions and other comorbidities, yeeeeeesh..........
