[QUOTE="Jamie H, post: 2266648, member: 523528"] Yup agree with all of that 100%. I know they've identified diabetes as a risk solely so regardless of how low risk an individual is based on age it would be extremely ignorant to ignore that risk altogether however its also ignorant so suggest a blanket policy for all diabetics when risk varies so much. I think demonstrating how many had other conditions would have been beneficial. Perhaps this feeds into the age correlation.. Young type 1s who are well controlled and not had the condition for a long time (in relative terms) are less likely to have other comorbidties. Also type 1s 80 plus are less likely to have had access to the technology we have today and could have been diabetic for a very long time etc. The raw data is great but some further commentary would be excellent.
