We are now very much in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, with all corners of the world being affected. While people with diabetes do not seem to have a higher risk of getting infected with coronavirus, there are a number of things that need to be done to prepare, to be ready to manage your diabetes in the event that you do get COVID-19. Check out my YouTube video above for my Top 5 To Do List to prepare for a coronavirus infection.

Diabetes Canada also has a great infographic on preparing for COVID-19 infection, and many other great resources on coronavirus that you can check out here.
