[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2236389, member: 429870"] The ADA has published this helpful summary of the situation as it may affect PWDs: [URL]https://www.diabetes.org/diabetes/treatment-care/planning-sick-days/coronavirus[/URL] Here is a quotation (passages IMO particularly important highlighted by me): "People with diabetes [I]do[/I] face a higher chance of experiencing serious complications from COVID-19. In general, people with diabetes are more likely to experience severe symptoms and complications when infected with a virus. [B][U]If diabetes is well-managed, the risk of getting severely sick from COVID-19 is about the same as the general population. When people with diabetes do not manage their diabetes well and experience fluctuating blood sugars, they are generally at risk for a number of diabetes-related complications. Having heart disease or other complications in addition to diabetes could worsen the chance of getting seriously ill from COVID-19[/U][/B], like other viral infections, because your body’s ability to fight off an infection is compromised."
