I am a Type 1 Diabetic that got COVID February 2021, it almost took me out with oxygen levels of around 50's, 60's, and most days hovered around 70's for 2 weeks straight. But, thankfully God still has me here but the post complications have been a struggle a year and half later. I still can't smell, can't taste (only extreme amounts of sea salt), and now I also have breathing issues and struggle for air when doing basic stuff like walking upstairs or trying to walk and have a conversation. I use to be an avid runner before COVID, I would run a 5k every other day up to 8 miles some days without hesitation, so I was "in shape" for sure so this was hit me hard. Also, since having COVID, I have become a Brittle Type 1 Diabetic with extreme LOW Blood sugars for no reason. Over the last 14+ years I've kept myself well managed and controlled with almost perfect diet (high protein, lots of veggies, drinking 1-2 gallons of water daily) and exercise with an A1C of 7 or a little below (which for a Type 1 is rare and very hard to maintain). However, after having COVID my body while having it and still afterwards will just decide to plummet for no rhyme or reason...not even with having insulin given, etc. I have struggled daily and eat smaller meals without my normal 3 meals a day to try and stay a float, but even with doing 'everything right' I feel like I'm still struggling to stay alive daily. Recently, I stopped nursing my son of 20 months old, and have changed nothing up but increased my weight by 10lbs in 2 weeks! This made NO sense considering I changed nothing in my regime. Now 3 months later I have gained a total of 25lbs of what I lost after having my son and I am really struggling and nothing I have done has caused this or helped it stop and I am besides myself. If I was eating cupcakes and being a loaf and pasta everyday if 1 thing, but no, my regime of healthy diet and walking at least 8,000 steps + a day is the same. I have a wedding next year I am a bridesmaid for and I just feel so gross I thought about asking to not be part of her bridal team because I feel disgusting. Has anyone found anything that has helped with the weight gain? Diet is Not my problem at all but any other things anyone else has tried? Thanks in Advance!
