Might not be too bad. 44 year old fella in work, fit and healthy but D1, has had it twice now, and worst he suffered was a lingering fatigue which has now gone.

Yup, if you are reasonably well managed and otherwise fairly healthy, the risks are only slightly raised over a non-diabetic person.
Its the people who are poorly managed/unfit and/or with a lot of/major secondary conditions that are at the greatest risk from COVID - their systems can be compromised to the point where they can't fight it.

She's slowly starting to pick up now, sleeping loads after work and all this weekend, but deffo light at the end of the tunnel. Phew.My daughter's now physically fine but her mental health has plummeted. She said it's like a crushing blackness, feels like she'll never be happy again

I just suddenly started shivering today, so did a test. Bit of a headache. That's the colour after 30 mins.

Yes, that's a positive, assuming it's been not left for longer than you're supposed to. Mine were only ever that type.
Assuming you tested as you had some symptoms anyway?
Mine did get increasingly angrily dark red as the week progressed, but then disappeared. Unfortunately, the symptoms didn't!
In other news, I'm back at work today, so thought I'd try a sesh on my exercise bike. Thought I'd give it 20 mins, thinking I may be fine for 30. Wrong. Struggled to do 11 mins, had to get off at 14 cos of feeling faint, and seeing white in front of my eyes. Looks like I'm starting from before fucking scratch to get back to full fitness.

That's a positive then. If you leave the tests for a really long time then you can get a positive where there was a negative before. But 30 minutes is the right time so you're positive, sorry.
Still waiting for it to play out here.

truly better over here. so glad it doesn't seem to be lc and that it steered clear of my lungs. fuck me, what a nasty, nasty illness. for me it was 40 degrees fevers for 14 days and serious exhaustion. never mind the joint pains, headachess, insomnia, loss off appetite and all that entails.
to think that half the world will be perma-ill with this awful virus for the foreseeable makes me very sad and angry.
best of luck to every-one on here suffering with it, who experiences lc, or who will catch it at some point. hope it runs smoothly xxx

It's now 7 days since my first positive test, 9 days since symptoms started. Do I still need to isolate?
You don't have to isolate anymore you know? So, no, not legally, and no not in terms of likelihood of being infectious either.
This does make me angry, given how ill I've been, and others on this thread. It's like a bloody lottery how ill you get, and medical establishments shouldn't be playing games like that.
edit to add: oh hang on, do you mean with a positive result, or contact with someone who tested positive?

Contact with +tive case.

Yeah, although does feel a bit bonkers (although I get that it's probably the only option now) given I see vulnerable people the whole time, and mask wearing has plummeted across the hospital. This is what 'living with Covid' looks like I guess...

Certainly in this country with its dodgy politics and establishment attitudes. Bad priorities and cant do mentalities combined with not wanting to put the effort or funding into the right areas. My complaint about things being half-arsed here can be just as clearly demonstrated now as it was in the early days. The underlying causes for why we made so many mistakes in the first months are on vivid display again, making a mockery of claims that we just didnt understand the details of a new virus, or that the right lessons would be learnt.

Feeling pretty rough at times today after a rave this weekend thought likely hangover and hayfever - did a test though as felt some of it felt similar to when I had covid and it came straight back positive.
