I have type 2 diabetes I’m in San Francisco and I’m really concerned I stay home I only go out for grocery shopping
Hi Elia,
I would not worry too much as you are doing what everyone in the U.S. should be doing. Get a mask or a cloth to cover your face for when you go to the store. Wash your hands often and especially when you get home from the store as well. Take good care –
Thank you for putting my mind a bit more at ease! I have really been stressed about the possibility of getting this disease…. I’m 67 years old, and have been a T1D for48 years. I’ve never been as worried about being a diabetic, than I am, now! Your “ talk” gave me strenghth, and a more positive feeling about my ability to cope!
Thanks Holly, that’s good to hear. It’s important to be careful and follow all the recommended guidelines, but those positive feelings will help. 🙂
Thanks Steve and Jeremy!! Good post! Thanks for all your doing. Xx

Yes very good blog. Keep them coming. I am a 58 been,diabetic for 48 years. Have seen a huge transfer in care of diabetes. From testing urine in a test tube. 5 drops of urine to 10 drops of water. Pkace a tablet in and compare the color. To continue Glucose monitoring. And the pump. Always have been proactive of my care. Which I feel every diabetic should be. Stay safe everyone.
Thanks Teresa and good for you for being so proactive! Take care and stay healthy! 🙂

Hi,
Thanks for the very informative discussion. I have a question – one of my family members is a hospital care worker living in the same household as me (I am a Type 1). Should I be concerned that he is going back and forth from the hospital everyday? and if so should I plan on finding a different place to live during this time?
Thanks again!
There are a lot of folks doing that now. Another option is if you have an upstairs and downstairs or a basement where you can be separated, and both wear masks and be super careful with hand washing and not touching your face. If you have a ton of comorbidities and tight quarters, you may consider living separately for awhile.
Dr Edelman and Dr Pettus are the voice of practical wisdom and calm. Thank you! For us parents who are so far away from our loved ones, thank you!
Thanks Nicole! Take good care!
