I was diagnosed with diabetes in February after contracting COVID which hospitalised me, I had high sugar levels during my treatment with high dose steroids but they continued after the treatment ended. I’m having great trouble managing my blood sugar levels as I had a really bad reaction to metformin including high lactate levels requiring hospital admission to reduce. At the moment I am on Humilin I and novorapid which are being titrated up practically daily to try and bring the blood sugars down. Very new to everything, it’s been a bit of a learning curve so I‘m reading on this site and doing the courses. They can’t even tell me what type it is yet, they want to get the blood sugars down first, then do more blood tests. My first ever Hba1c was 78, not sure what that means
