Good morning everyone,
How are you today? 
How are you managing your diabetes now? Is it more complicated this time of year? Have you returned to a "normal life" after these few months of lockdown?
Feel free to share! We are here to help each other!
Take care,
Courtney

Hello everyone,
I thought I would come back to this discussion and see how everyone is doing in lockdown?
How are you holding up? Have you changed anything in your daily routine from last lockdown? Have you had any advice from your doctor or the NHS?

Hello all,
I hope you are all doing well.
As you know, the coronavirus affects everyone, regardless of age or origin. However, some people are at greater risk of developing severe complications if infected. In particular, people with chronic illnesses.
In the case of diabetes (type 1 or type 2), being ill can make your blood sugar level rise as your body tries to fight the illness and give you energy. This means you’re more at risk of having serious blood sugar highs and lows, as well as longer-term issues with your feet, eyes and other parts of the body.
If you show coronavirus symptoms, such as fever, monitor your blood sugar levels carefully. Fever from any cause is a destabilising factor in diabetes. Some of you may be concerned about insulin shortages. To date, the Government states: "At this stage, no problems of access to medicines have been reported in relation to the COVID-19 Coronavirus epidemic in France, nor in Europe. »
The purpose of this discussion is to allow you to exchange, advise and support each other.
How are you handling self-isolation? Are you afraid for your health? Have you had any specific advice from your doctors? Have you had difficulties getting your medications at the pharmacy?
Feel free to share with us all here!
Take care,
Courtney
