[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2226637, member: 372717"] For anyone on insulin then illness severely increases the amount of insulin required, so you combine feeling awful with the need to do many more blood tests and also avoid diabetic ketoacidosis (if T1). Personally I always get a flu jab because I know I could be hospitalised by the flu. Coronavirus - concentrate on really good hygiene (ie handwashing) and wait for a vaccine. Remember that the stats for diabetics are distorted because many diabetics have comorbidities and there's no way to tell whether a diabetic has good control. Good luck everyone. Don't panic but be careful. [/QUOTE]
