[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2235988, member: 372717"] I don't think anyone knows the answer to this question. The main risk appears to be age, and the older you are, the more likely to be diabetic. So maybe look up your "age risk" and double it, to get an order of magnitude level. But that's only an order of magnitude. I've been T1 for 50 years so my immune system is probably worse than a T2 who is diet controlled and achieves normal levels just by moderating their carbs. On the other hand, I don't smoke, so my lungs are good, which probably helps. There are so many factors which can affect one's risk, (let alone diabetes type or hba1c which no one has data on yet), that it's really hard to tell. But even my T2 89 year old dad, who has multiple health conditions and a cornucopia of medications, still has only a 1 in 4 (roughly) chance of dying from this virus..... [/QUOTE]
