Welcome @Dylusional dandelion Sorry you’re ill. I hope you make a quick recovery. Are you on any medication for your diabetes?

Ok. I’d keep hydrated and try to eat lightly at regular intervals eg soup, crackers, etc. Sugar free squash might be good, along with tea (I find hot drinks can be soothing) and you can also get sugar-free ice pops if your throat feels rough. Rest lots. It really helps.

You’ll be fine without eating for a few days but try to drink enough fluids

Welcome to the forum @Dylusional dandelion
Sorry to hear about your diabetes diagnosis, and now your brush with Covid too!
Hope the covid-19 passes quickly and without too much incident. As others are saying be kind to yourself, keep hydrated, and perhaps read some of the Diabetes UK Covid 19 information here
