Type 2 Diabetes and the Coronavirus - questions, concerns, precautions?

8.2 is high but when I was first diagnosed, my A1C was 11.2. But with exercise, diet change and medicine my A1C is 4.4. We definitely have to be extra careful and stay home.  I can't say it's a "death sentence" because I know individuals that have diabetes and the coronavirus and they're coming alone just fine.  It might take longer for a person, whose immune system is compromised to heal than a person who have no underlying issues.  Please take care of yourself. 

I've had diabetes for 30 plus years I take humilun RU-500 my sugars fluctuate.  I am wondering if I do everything right as far as hygiene and staying inside will the virus effect my immune system and what is the odds of me catching it 

My Ac1 started at 11 it is between 9 and 10 now I am on 2 different insulins humilin 500 scaled  and basqular 110 units a day my hardest problem is not doing anything I believe it is caused by depression which is getting worse. I am also fixing to go through  separation from my husband on 16 yrs almost 17 and now the virus going around I have been on lock down for 3 weeks now. This is so hard for me. Trying really hard to care enough about my self to want to feel better. But I do have my faith.

Hello everyone, how are you all holding up? It's great to see all these new names around here.

 @LindaClaire that sounds really scary, how are you and your husband doing?

@Mstelly39‍ Have you had an update from your doctor? Don't be scared, you're going to get through this! 

We are getting a little better each day.   Thank you for asking.  7 more days quarantined but we both need it to heal correctly..
