Matt, glad to hear you are doing better and seems to have definitely turned the corner for the better.
I have some personal questions for both of you, if you would care to share? How was your/their health prior to COVID? Diet? Diabetic? Last doctor check? BMI (though I have issues with the usage of this number)? Working out on a daily basis prior to? Not trying to pry, BUT asking loaded questions, as when reporting deaths or bad cases, it seems there are a lot of underlying issues that just come to the forefront with COVID. If you dont care to share, I understand.
I have type 2 diabetes. Runs in my family. On the BMI chart (which I have issues with too) I was a 30. Exercise: not much (being truthful here) My BP and cholesterol are that of a healthy young man! Even with the type 2. My pulse is typically mid to high 60's resting. I don't drink a lot - 3-4 beers a week on avg. & 1-3 hard liquor a month. Don't smoke, never have.
I'm sure my type 2 and being over weight added to it, I'd be a fool if I didn't.
