[QUOTE="Jamie H, post: 2266623, member: 523528"] My understanding is that scientists are reviewing, but nowhere has it been suggested or written that scientists are going to advise all diabetics are shielded. . Partha Kar has suggested on a number of threads that it would be extremely unlikely that there will be a one size fits all approach.. I think there's been some reading of sensationalist headlines being interpreted as fact by some. I think the research itself was brilliant and very welcome.. Including identifying diabetes as a risk factor in itself and even for myself as under 40 I still think that needs to be adhered to and precautions taken.. However if we are to take the salient points form the data then it must be in its entirety and that is risk differs across the wider diabetic family. However I do agree that there is some limitation as it doesn't state how many had no other comorbidites/conditions. From first glance it seems a lot suffered from hypertension though. [/QUOTE]
