[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2256716, member: 365308"] Your age, normal ish blood sugars, lack of obesity are in your favour assuming you are not hypertensive and do not have other co morbidities. I think the higher bgs do increase both chances of getting infected but more critically your response to any infection. As I understand it it's not the virus that causes the serious problems but a massive over reaction to it by your immune system. One way to know if you have problems with your immune system is to look at your c reactive protein levels which are usually taken on a standard blood test. [/QUOTE]
