Random thoughts on coronavirus and diabetes

I was looking at the very steep upward COVID-19 data curves and felt an immediate urge like I needed to take action right that second. Obviously the numbers are alarming in their own right but I started to wonder if my reaction is a little more than that.

Then I realized it’s almost a Pavlovian reaction to seeing a steep line graph. I guess I have been primed to hyperreact to graphs of a certain shape thanks to years of managing Samson’s diabetes.

Anyone else have that same reaction?

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could “community-spread” our BG spikes!

And the talk of V shaped vs U shaped constantly reminds me of my dexcom!
