Now I know why my diabetes is so unstable - I’ve only gone and caught Covid 🙄

People with no symptoms can show some as soon as there is an increase in stress. It happened with me one day when I was angry and suddenly started showing symptom.

So be relaxed, listen to songs and stuff.:)

@MasterofNone I’m not allowed to exercise at all because it’s affecting my blood sugars so I’m on a high carb diet this week with lots of rest
MasterofNone · 26-30, M
@SW-User oh I see. Damn I didn't know you were getting blood sugars on the lower side.
SW-User
@MasterofNone yep, it’s the only reason we knew something was wrong
Gangstress · 41-45, F
oh no mate, I really hope you're ok
try and rest sweetie
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@SW-User its crap, is it 7 days? or longer?

Glits has a op on Monday, shes getting a swab test later then we have to isolate all weekend till the op :(

I know its only a weekend, but im like you lol :(
SW-User
@Gangstress it really sucks, they said it’s a week if you test positive, but 10 days if you’ve been in contact because it can take time for it to develop. It’s better because I only have a week but my brother and his wife has 10 days 🤣
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@SW-User haha brilliant, lets hope the week flies by :)

Hopefully my shit postings can cheer you up. Get better soon. The world needs more Brits with a sense of humor. God knows how rare they are
SW-User
@Mrballs haha thanks

When my mother got covid, it was difficult for us to control her blood sugar levels just my medicines that were prescribed by our doctor. We consulted the doctor, and only after his prescribing the insulin the blood sugar levels were under control. It got back to normal after she recovered from covid.

Take care..
SW-User
@ABCDEF7 thanks. I take insulin injections 4 times per day anyway - we were just having trouble keeping my sugars up (they were sitting at 2.5 yesterday). We’ve tweaked my insulin and I’m on a high carb diet while my body is clearly burning sugar to fight this

@SW-User try eating peanut butter. It has a lot of sugar and takes a while to digest

Or drink small cups of orange juice
SW-User
@DeluxedEdition I had peanut butter on toast for breakfast 🥰
SW-User
Uh oh take care
SW-User
I just enjoyed 2 seasons of snowpiercer. 👍 @SW-User
SW-User
@SW-User Thanks, I’m going to need Netflix recommendations to keep me going
SW-User
That’s my summer holiday (netflix) 🤦‍♂️ Lol @SW-User

I had covid bad and both my feet swelled up as I had diabetes ...it may have happened because I never ate for three weeks or did I take my tablets and my shoes were on my feet for three weeks all because I was out cold most of the t.ime
SW-User
@Platinum I’m type 1 so if I didn’t eat for 3 weeks I’d be dead! I’m on a high carb diet to keep my sugar levels up and we’ve reduced my insulin while my body is burning so much sugar
Platinum · M
@SW-User hope you feel better soon
LookingForTheSummer · 31-35, M
I hope you get better soon. You can be a couch potato without feeling guilty about it. At least there is some positivity in this.
SW-User
@LookingForTheSummer definitely- it’s not all bad
Lacemaker · 41-45, F
Oh that's a bummer. Hope you get over it soon 😧
SW-User
@Lacemaker thank you, fingers crossed I don’t develop any symptoms
Lacemaker · 41-45, F
@SW-User 🤞🏻
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M

DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
😳awwww gws hun
SW-User
@DeluxedEdition thank you 😊
SW-User
Wow . Hope you don’t get to ill and speedy recovery . Don’t hesitate to go to hospital if you have the slightest problem breathing 🙁
SW-User
@SW-User I will don’t worry. It’s not the breathing I’m worried about - last night it was my blood sugar levels, although now we have a plan to tackle it. Apart from that I don’t have any symptoms at all 😊
SW-User
Let’s hope you don’t but I know as you probably do that they can hit with the blink of an eye . 🤗@SW-User
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F

MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User You're welcome sweetpea.💞🤗
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
That's a bad combination. I hope you pass through it all right.
SW-User
@DunningKruger yep I was classed as extremely vulnerable last year and told to shield 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not having any Covid symptoms yet so fingers crossed I don’t get any
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
Well that sucks
SW-User
@vetguy1991 yep it does
OldBrit · 61-69, M
Get better soon
SW-User
@OldBrit thanks, although I’m not ill at all, I don’t have any covid symptoms
adorbz · 26-30, F

SW-User
@adorbz yep, sucks to be me
deadgerbil · 22-25
Yikes 😬
CestManan · 46-50, F
@SW-User You didn't choose the couch potato life, it chose you.

So make sure there is comfy blanket on the couch, there are plenty of chips, the remote has good batteries, your phone charger is plugged in, and something good on TV. I recommend the channel called "Antenna TV" because they play Three's Company reruns.
SW-User
@CestManan thats a game plan right there
CestManan · 46-50, F
@SW-User Sometimes illness is the perfect excuse to just veg out.
Pretzel · 61-69, M
crap! hope you're feeling better soon
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
Uh oh
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
hey im on hourly snacks too, we got a lot in common
SW-User
@MartinTheFirst it’s not a bad life 🤣🤣
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
@SW-User lol

its pretty normal in this kind of world tbh
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I am so sorry. I hope it doesn’t get bad.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User I hope not. I am worried since you have an auto immune disease.
SW-User
@iamonfire696 I’m being monitored closely so don’t worry 🥰
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User thats good
SW-User
Don't worry. I'll be here to annoy.... I mean support you the whole way.
SW-User
@SW-User apparently I’m not allowed to get stressed so you have to play nice 😆
SW-User
@SW-User so no tagging you in posts about buttplugs? Got it 😂


I can be nice too. This may surprise you but I can actually be very pleasant and charming. I just tend to save that for non-geordies.

I can try to make an exception because you're ill tho 🙄🙄
SW-User
@SW-User haha keep telling yourself that, I’m not sure you know what nice is. And FYI I think I’m all done with the butt plug crowd so if you could that would be great 🤣🤣🤣
