I have a family history of Covid, but I seemed to have dodged a bullet, but in my early 50s I got diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes six months after having Covid - but the symptoms were there for at least three months.
Prior to diagnosis, I nearly passed out while skiing at Sunshine - I put this down to overheating and it affecting my MS symptoms (I’m a collector of chronic diseases), but with hindsight, I was probably having a hypo. I ate a Clif bar as I took the gondal back to the parking lot and felt better soon after.
Don’t know if having Covid triggered something that led to the onset of diabetes, but the diabetic nurse was pretty interested when I told her about when I had Covid.
For me, it is what it is, but my heart goes out to people and families who it affected more.
