covid-19

Everyone (from 6 months up) with diabetes is (including those controlled by diet). https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2024/08/02/whos-eligible-for-the-2024-covid-19-vaccine-or-autumn-booster/

Good evening, so I've been T2 for about 3 years, originally when I was diagnosed I tested my blood sugar until my doctor told me I didn't need to as I'd be getting tested every 6 months, then COVID happened and getting appointments have been impossible, recently I've not been feeling great about...

Hi everyone. This may be a long post, but my aim is to explain my situation and find out if others have experienced the same thing. I have reason to suspect my newly diagnosed Type 1 may be a result of the Moderna Covid booster vaccine I received last year and want to see if there’s pattern...

Nothing to do with diabetes. Just an interesting result: these vaccines also offer a bit of a boost against some cold-producing coronaviruses. https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciac057/6515378

Specifically, children with diabetes are to be offered vaccination. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/jcvi-statement-september-2021-covid-19-vaccination-of-children-aged-12-to-15-years/jcvi-statement-on-covid-19-vaccination-of-children-aged-12-to-15-years-3-september-2021

Following my first dose of the AZ vaccine I developed all the classic symptoms of Type 2 diabetes within 2 weeks of the jab. There is a history of T2 in my family, but I have a generally good diet and this was a cliff edge change. My HBAIC was 99 and when I went to the GP my BS was 23. With...

Surprise (to me) news. Negative tests won't be an option. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-proof-of-full-vaccination-to-be-made-mandatory-for-entry-to-nightclubs-from-end-of-september-12359283

tl;dr Maybe, but the evidence just isn't that good so we don't know yet. https://gidmk.medium.com/does-ivermectin-work-for-covid-19-1166126c364a

Brain imaging before and after COVID-19 in UK Biobank Our findings thus consistently relate to loss of grey matter in limbic cortical areas directly linked to the primary olfactory and gustatory system.

Hi so as a T1 diabetic I had my first covid jab.. once I chased it up as id been missed! Anyway I was pretty ill afterwards my arm ached the 2nd day but about 5 days after I get really short of breath and had zero energy I never felt so tired and lethargic. Didn't really think much of it but...

Wondering if anyone else has been left off the vaccine list? I’d heard nothing and contacted the NHS via the missed vaccination letter online form (I live in Scotland so it’s a different system to England), was told I hadn’t been added to the priority list, they were going to investigate it and...

In particular the last two episodes which summarise decisions made by our (that is, the UK, for England) government. (Doesn't really tell us more than we suspected but is a nice summary.) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p08dqbpn

Hello I wondered if any pregnant diabetics have had the covid vaccine please? I am t1 and have been offered it, I have discussed it with my consultant and I had decided to get it but my consultant had a preference of phizer if possible which now seems almost impossible to get hold of. Has anyone...

Hi! So I'm newly diagnosed (December), and going through a bit of a phase of obsessing over things - which is kinda useful, as it means I'm learning loads and have made big diet changes. But, here's last night's "random thought in the dark of the night": Diabetics are included in the Phase 1...

This is to explain the change in schedule (having the second dose up to 12 weeks from the first). https://www.cas.mhra.gov.uk/ViewandAcknowledgment/ViewAlert.aspx?AlertID=103132
