Coronavirus: specific advice for people living with diabetes

 

The risk of getting Coronavirus is now high in the UK, so if you have diabetes and start to feel unwell you need to follow the sick day rules for type 1 or type 2 diabetes and check your blood glucose frequently. Also follow sick day advice recommended by your local diabetes educators.

If you have diabetes and you have symptoms such as a cough, high temperature and feeling short of breath, you need to continue taking your medication, call the NHS 111 phone service or use the NHS Inform Online Assessment Tool.
