[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2315776, member: 526953"] As others have linked to there certainly is a bidirectional relationship between covid & diabetes being investigated. I’m aware from certain ongoing research projects & anecdotally from my DN that diabetes diagnosis have tripled since March. But since the research is ongoing & in the early days there wasn’t much covid testing going on it’s going to take time to test the strength of the relationship & yes they even question if it is a ‘new’ type of diabetes because many require insulin without antibodies being present. All you can do is focus on your daughters needs day to day & keep one eye on the research. If she requires insulin, treating her as a type 1 diabetic is the best thing you can do. I have a child with a long term medical condition. It can be exhausting at times and when things go wrong the instinct is to blame yourself. Try to be aware of this because my experience with diabetes is it will take time to get things stable. Always remember you are doing the best you can on any given day, there will be bumps in the road but eventually things will normalise. [/QUOTE]
