    My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ruclips.net/user/postUgkxibD_L3sDyYENL5CwePCd9plRBqjzw2mw At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.

    Let's talk about how pharma has been price gauging insulin for years, and that's why people go to Canada. If the people who are hoarding and trying to resell goods can get fines it's time for big pharma to do the same.

      Me and my mom are both Type 2 diabetic. I remember my mom always buying the small vials and I didnt know how much they cost, that was until I was diagnosed and because I had insurance I didnt really have to pay a dime and that all changed when I turned 18. Once I turned 18 I was glad I was semi working, and found out one little tiny vial cost $24.88 but because I need both N and R I always buy two. Which cost me $49 plus it for both me and my mom, I understand business but at the same time if their going to be that expensive for a thing that's so small they should double the size, decrease the price just anything for people like us who have to pay because we dont have insurance.

    My Father who had diabetes and heart failure just passed away early this morning, the doctors are not sure if covid-19 was involved or not, but they are treating it like it had. He passed away around 0330 this morning @ Shady Grove Adventist hospital in Montgomery County,MD.
    My Father was 68 yrs old
    (Edited)
    Thank you all for your condolences, me and my mom and my sister thank you for support. It’s been very hard since this morning, because we are not allowed to see him all together, only my mother was allowed permission to see him but decided not to do to the risk involved.
    We already picked out a funeral parlor in the nearby area.
    The hardest part was calling the rest of my family and friends and telling them that he had passed.

      I have type 2 diabetes, and my last A1C was 7.0, and my doctor is happy with this. I don't have any heart problems. I have a higher than normal blood pressure, but this and the diabetes are treated with medications. The bottom line is that I'm one of those persons who almost never becomes ill. I haven't had a cold in over 20 years. The flu is around every year, and I've never had the flu. Every once in a while, I'll feel a bit crappy, but I'll recover in a day or two.

    I am a type II diabetic, and have been on a Keto diet since January. My A1c last month was 5.6. All of my other labs came back excellent. I’ve lost 32 pounds, and have stopped having cravings for sweets. My CRNP was delighted...but she had warned me against the Keto diet. I’ve not told her...why bother? So much for enlightened nutritional education in the US. I am sheltering in my home except for twice monthly trips for groceries at 6 AM, when my store has hours for senior citizens. I get cat food, dried foods, and perishables,such as baby spinach, bananas and grass fed beef in secure packaging. I am 70, and at the store I wear a mask as a defense against sneezers, I take my own Clorox wipes and give the cart a thorough wipe, and I wear big yellow Playtex gloves. Overkill? No, catching the virus is overkill. God bless us and save us from this plague.

    I am a type 2 guy and take a 500 mg metformin pill twice a day; no insulin. I have been able to maintain an average fasting blood sugar of 90-100 daily; sometimes high 80s, but it hasn’t been over 110 in a long time. It has not been easy and I had to give up a lot, but I don’t want to live my life chasing blood sugar with insulin. I basically became keto-ish! I eat NO sugar, and cut down almost all forms of white food (carbs) such as potato, rice, flour, and even ‘low or no’ sugar products. Just eat a bunch of green veggies and fish and chicken overall.... a Big Mac , slice of pizza, and steak and fries are rare-ish treats. The hardest to give up was the beer and wine but oh well, they don’t recommend alcohol while on metformin. Overall, I noticed I felt a lot better, more energy, and lost weight which has stayed off. My cholesterol has stayed in an excellent range as well so have avoided the doctor recommended statin pills. I am not a doctor, but I would suggest any type 2 diabetic to try and face the fact that we can’t eat like we used to, and if we want to reduce the pills and insulin stuff, avoid carbs, sugar, and maybe even alcohol... believe me, after a while, you won’t miss it... for motivation, check out the RUclips movie, The Sugar Movie, or Netflix’s The Magic Pill....

What the influencers say are people with metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance; That's not diabetes as yet. But there have been healthy active 30-40 year old that have died from this virus. Others are carriers but I guess you did not hear that. How about the liver transplant patients; women and some men fighting breast cancer and a host of other issues. You heard diabetes.

    Last year I was diagnosed with type two diabetes. I did speak to my primary care physician. And she did tell me yes to be worried but don’t be fully worried. She told me I’m healthy Miamian system is really good and I change my eating habit from last year. And she upped my dose of met Forman to 500 mg a day. Long as I continue what I’m doing and don’t eat anything bad that I’m supposed to. And also I’m trying to stay as far away from people as possible. So that means I’m only going out it’s necessary and I’m staying inside for the majority.

    The grocery store last week was wiped out of meats, including bacon, and I use a keto diet to keep my blood sugar #2 near 100-115 most of the time. No heavy cream, but did get some half and half. I don't eat pasta at all, but did find my zucchini "noodles". It's more difficult during this time due to the craziness surrounding this covid19 hysteria to get the sort of food needed for diabetics. I'd gone for months with no need of insulin using keto diet, but in past 2 weeks twice I've had to use some when my blood sugar hour after eating was 135-140 range. I hope the stores return soon to a more reasonable stock of goods after the hoarders finally decide they've done enough damage to the country.

    Both my parents (boomers), and my only living grandparent (aged 87), have diabetes AND heart disease. I was incredibly concerned about their health before this crisis. Now, I’m just praying their efforts at social distancing and isolation from others will make their risk of contracting COVID-19 low. Things could be worse, though, as both my parents are privileged enough to work from home. It would be terrifying if they still had to work in the public, as many people do. I really feel for those people still working in delivery, grocery stores, hospitals, and other essential services that have these kinds of chronic illnesses that make it very dangerous for them to contract COVID-19. They have no choice but to go to work and risk their health.

      Except when you have need of some diagnostic care you wait for months while we get it immediately. Plus millions in the UK buy private insurance there, too, to get better care because the NHS is very limited. We had a visitor stay with us whose daughter waited 6 months to get a very necessary CT scan when we drove by several places here in the US where she could have gotten it immediately, and it would be covered by insurance so she would have paid little or nothing. Both programs require you to pay, but ours provides better care overall and more choices. Give me our system any day.

      @@Happybidr yes, but if I wanted, I could pay for the CT, MRI, etc, privately, get the results and transfer them to the NHS for continued care. So, I would be £200 out of pocket, however, if I needed an operation, chemo, etc., the NHS would cover this.
      Also, if a patient is considered urgent, they are "fast tracked" through the system.
      All that said, the NHS needs much more money to enable it to function at it's optimum. Hopefully, when this nightmare is over, it will continue forward with the government fully supporting it. Unlike in the past, many governments have not invested adequately, which sadly, became glaringly obvious in the past few months and the scramble for beds/equipment began.
      Shame on our governments.
      Apart from being pampered, the care in the private sector is no different to the care in the NHS. Doctors operate/work in both sectors (the doctor seen in a private hospital is the same one you will see in the NHS hospital).

    Although this story explains Type I and Type II, one problem is that "the general media" uses a big brush to paint "diabetes" in their stories, when they are largely discussing Type II. I contracted "Juvenile Diabetes" (Type I) at age 33 (as did Mary Tyler Moore). It all depends upon when a person encounters their "trigger", which odds are occurs before adulthood. I went to the hospital in diabetic ketoacidosis, as I didn't understand what was wrong at the time. My doctor said that the bright side was that , at 33, I could understand the diagnosis, and practice better control (after directed education), rather than a young child, rebellious teen, or set-in-my-ways older adult. I have done my best for over 30 years now, and have ZERO diabetes related complications. My motto became, "There are NO forbidden foods, only NO unplanned foods". I try to maintain that 3-tray balance scale between food, insulin, and activity. What the body of a typical person handles automatically, I have to do manually, without my "auto-pilot".

Every single time my son gets any kind of fever, even just a little "24 hour bug", he is at high risk of going low blood sugar at a much faster rate, and therefore passing out, and dyeing at a much faster rate. I have to keep 24 hour vigilance over him, every time he gets sick with a fever.

      That makes sense, as a fever is taxing to keep up. Every degree extra is another ~10% increase in energy consumption, while appetite usually drops.

She gets regular check ups with nurses, doctors and feet and eye specialists because these a problems that diabetics can have and it is all FREE for her. Yes we all pay and we all use it it is the same as insurance but through our taxes. Please note that just beacause we have the NHS does not stop people who want to go private paying or having insurance it just means it is an optional extra.

Take heed people, this is a dietary illness no medication can solve this. It has a vicious cycle, You eat > take medication > You eat again > take more medication. If you have a fever because of an infection, it is mental to solve fever instead of the infection.

My mom is also T2 diabetic--her body reacted horribly to a keto diet--it's not for everyone, and I will remain wary without my physician's approval. Low Carb, ok! :) Fasting isn't an option for me (and my physician even told me I need to eat every 2-3 hours, small servings and healthy food). I have problems with my body acting as though my BS is too low even if it's high (and I haven't even been in what is considered "normal range" since day 1 of being diagnosed just 9 months ago). There have also been occasions where my BS actually did drop too low. My BS and A1C has dropped significantly since that first day, but at my last Dr. visit, my insulin dose was upped again. I didn't even know I had diabetes--I went to the Dr. about a continuous pain in my leg and nothing else. My A1C was 11.5 and my BS was 440 that first night, when I was immediately put on insulin and told to check my BS 2x/day--now, my last A1C reading was 7.2, and my BS usually hovers between 140-150 (still too high on both, but still significant drops). It's going to take a while, but yes, healthier diet and exercise helps. Up until the shutdowns, I was going to the gym on my college's campus 2-3x/week this school year.

      DKA results from lack of basal. During illness, your basal needs quickly increase, so it can easily happen that you end up with DKA, because the amount of basal insulin you are used to take suddenly isn't enough. High blood sugar ain't the cause - that is only correlated. Lack of basal is the cause of DKA.

    Type 2 especially puts a person at higher risk of infection and inflammation in general. It's a catch 22 in a way because your more likely to get worse reactions to most things that effect the body and when you get an infection or fever it then makes your blood sugar higher. Another thing especially with type two is that most people with it are older and being older alsoakes you more vulnerable so therefore there are two "underlying" issues.
